We had an interesting Thread here not too long ago regarding the actual Aston Martin types beneath the badging shown in The Living Daylights. Perhaps some added value to that discussion as well.

I’ve been wanting a new Bond compilation book for a while, not just a revised past edition. DK usually do a great job.

While I'm sure this will be good, it's a shame Dave Worrall never did his book on the various Bond cars. If The Most Famous Car in The World was any indication, it would've been amazing!
Do we know that this isn't Dave - I know he had a book of this type in the wings some years ago - and there isn't an actual author mentioned on the Amazon site.

Thought I would not pay shop price and order off Amazon only to get home and find it says they are not available.

If it were Dave doing this book, well, then it would be a must buy.
I do believe that Dave Worrall did act ina consultant capacity of somekind for DK's previous Bond release... so it'll be interesting to see if he had any input into this effort.

No mention of Dave in the acknowledgements (not up to his standards), so perhaps there's hope of a decent Bond Cars & Vehicles book in the future.

Saw this book and the other new DK book today in Waterstones here in the UK. They are nice but are mainly just pictures from each film with a couple of lines of dialogue. If anyone is expecting an indepth look at bond and the vehicles then it is not this. Lovely to look at but not much content.

I agree with you. I've seen this book and its companion volume "The Book Of Bond" at Waterstones in Nottingham. Well produced, good pictures but lacking text. The other two books in series, about the girls and the villains, are expected later this year. I'll be surprised if they don't follow the same pattern. Collect the set, and you'll have what are basically four miniature "coffee table" books, that you can fit on one coffee table.

I'm still on the fence about picking them up, but the layout and covers are very cool. The covers have almost a fabric appearance which is different.
