Has anyone picked up the James Bond Archives book? I am very curious about it, but I too am having a hard time coughing up the $125 to buy it.

 

I did not pick up Skyfall Bond On Set. After further review of the previous On Set books I determined I really only looked at them once or twice and that was it.

 

Roger Moore's book I did see at a book store and I will buy that one for sure.

 

I saw The Making of The Living Daylights is out too. I loved The Making of OHMSS and will be ordering Daylights for sure.

Here is a thread on it;

Just happened to pick up Life magazine's "50 Years of James Bond: On The Run with 007, from Dr. No to Skyfall" retrospective at Target this afternoon.. Contains interesting facts, photos and tidbits of EVERY Bond film, including Casino Royale (1954 and 1967 spoof) and Never Say Never Again.. I HIGHLY recommend you buy it if you can get your hands on it..

 

I endorse this, and the Life book is available, in hardback or paperback, in the UK - the hardback I saw at Waterstones, the paperback, which is exactly the same book in terms of content, including front and back covers, I found in a magazine stall in WH Smith. There's content in it, and photographs, that I've never seen before. Well worth getting.

I posted a short review of The James Bond Archives in the other thread. I also got Bond on Set for Christmas. Very nice shots as always!

The Magazine version of the Life book has less pages,so you miss a couple of photo's and Bondactor's introductions.

Last november are also release a couple of beautiful books in Germany:

 

Die James Bond Girls is a hardcoverbook full of exellent photographs, many I 've never seen before of all the Bond girls.

 

Bond, James Bond. Plakate und Fotografieen. Museum Folkwang. This paperback is some kind of alternative poster book, with a lot of German posters and not used poster art, some I didn't see before.

 

Both books are must-haves!

I got Bond Unmasked on ebay and I must say I was highly disappointed in the book, the interviews only cover about 16 pages excluding the snippets of interviews put in the sections on the film summaries. This book is more film summary than interviews. The summaries are really detailed and the most detailed Bond summaries I've ever read but the interviews are just really lacking.

Exactly my thoughts too. I also bought this one a year ago on Ebay. Also the quotations of the Bondactors in the summaries are identical with what they are telling in the interviews at the back of the book, so you get a lot of times the same answeres twice. Also the pictures are not very well printed.

But the choice of pictures is great - very rare ones.
