Bond: Behind the Scenes

This is a great picture book for any Bond fan !

I would have given this the extra star but the descriptions fails to mention that this book stops with Timothy Daltons bond. Disappointing

No words or stories about the photos, which would have added interest. And, the photos are black & white. Thumbed through this in 5 minutes, nothing of any substance. Very disappointing.

I had high hopes for Bond: Behind the Scenes, especially given its high price and promise of showcasing behind-the-scenes moments from James Bond movies. Unfortunately, the book falls short in several ways.First, the content itself is underwhelming. The photos are all in dark black and white, covering only the Bond movies from Connery to Dalton, which feels incomplete given the legacy of the franchise. Moreover, the photos are mostly small (as the book itself is quite small), which is disappointing for something aimed at James Bond fans who would expect to enjoy the visuals in greater detail. The size and presentation simply don’t do justice to the subject matter.To make matters worse, the condition of the book was disappointing. Despite being sold as “new,” it arrived unsealed in plastic, with a cover that looked handled and slightly smudged. For a hardbound book of this price—especially for someone who loves to collect James Bond memorabilia—I expected better care and presentation.Overall, this book does not deserve a place on the shelves of a true James Bond collection.

Not much to it. A few good pictures with basic uninformative captions. You can find many more similar Bond film pictures on line for free in Getty Images. Search James Bond and you'll get them all from Connery to Craig.
