I haven't seen a thread for this, but Zencat kindly announced it a week or so ago on The Book Bond. So excited to see Gregg Williams return! His photography is stunning, and I adored his last 3 Bond on Set books a lot.

It's up for pre order on Amazon.com.

Nothing for Amazon UK yet, but I assume it will be up in due course.

Anyway yes, really excited that he's back! As you all probably are, too.

I was wondering when people were going to notice this. I was too lazy to post it myself. :)

This will be particularly good given how undercover they've managed to keep filming!

I’m not so pleased; his photos started the death of the making-of books. Now all we now get is a rather anodyne coffee table affair that one gets quickly weary of once flicked though once or twice (all form, no content).

Haven't bought a Bond book in a while, I do remember getting for christmas the complete 007 encyclopedia for Christmass in '07. Great news though! Adding this to my early Christmas list already. I still am trying to find in my local Barnes & Noble for the Quantum Of Solace book.

I have the other three on my coffee table. People scoff at them usually when they walk in. Next thing you know they're sitting down loving the books and photos. Great news! Zen, you can't hold juicy bits like this from us.

There was a Bond on Set for Die Another Day and Casino Royale along with Quantum. If you want to check some pictures out on Greg Williams' site:

I have the DAD and QOS books. Love them both. Williams' works are must-haves for the 007 afficionados, far as I'm concerned!

I find the CR book superior to DAD and QOS. While QOS: On Set has some great shots and many many photos, there are some in CR that are captured perfectly and more artistically.

Exactly. I for one enjoy these books. The previous two have been worthy additions to my collection. They're a good way to record/document the films.

I second those...CR and QOS is an amazing reference book of filming, CR for sure.

This comes out one month before the release of the film? Damn, that's quite tempting...

Release date listed as 10-2-12

The Bond Chronicle from DK publishing and James Bond XL from Taschen have not been listed for preorder yet.

Where is the 2013 James Bond calendar??

I was wondering if there should be another thread for all of the book tie in releases?? Hopefully users will find them here in the Bond on Set thread.
