Bond: Behind the Scenes

BOND BEHIND THE SCENES - mirrorpix The History PressA good selection of rarely seen images from (mostly) the 1960s Bond film sets - some of which are flipped (reproduced the wrong way round) but the photo captions have been written by someone who knows nothing about what the photographs should say to the reader. And the layout/design is none too clever either. No one will learn anything from this book!

Waste of money. Much smaller than I thought and lots of the images are very similar. Just how many photos of Shirley Eaton painted gold do we need to see? Or Sean Connery and Honour Blackman standing together? Or stills of James Bond's fight with Odd Job? Take out those photos and that would be about a quarter of the content gone already. There are much better books out there. I regret wasting money on this book.

Somehow I expected this book to be a large format doorstop pack with on-set insights. Then reality bit.It’s a little book with some very posed and uninspiring photos with very basic captions.Save your money, it will be in The Works for £3.99 before you know it

Some of the photos in this rather small book I have never seen before, but they are not that spectacular. Almost all photos show actors posing on set. Approximately half of the photos have a caption which merely indicates who can be seen. No extra insight or info whatsoever. If you are a Bond fan you will probably want this book for your collection. But if you don’t buy it, you don’t miss anything. Really.

First of all it's a very SMALL book. It's all black and white pictures which are only interesting for the actors who appear in them (i.o.w: very dull). I have many Bond books but this one is absolutely forgetable. It only goes as far as Timothy Dalton (3 pics) and than it ends! No Pierce and Daniel. Save your money: you can have mine!!
