There have been six incarnations of James Bond - whose name his creator Ian Fleming borrowed from the author of a book entitled 'Birds of the West Indies' - in the official Eon-produced series of films: Sean Connery,George Lazenby,Timothy Dalton,Pierce Brosnan,Daniel Craig and Roger Moore (the 3rd BOND.). There are not many people in the world who would fail to recognize the name James Bond,and this fabulous book celebrates fifty years of Bond movies - making it the longest continually running film series in movie history.Under the helmsmanship of producers Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli and Harry Saltzman for the early movies together before 'Cubby' took over the reins alone in 1977; which he in turn then handed over to his daughter Barbara and stepson Michael in 1995. However,while it may be true to say there have been several Bonds,in reality the longest-serving 007,and the one considered to have the most charisma and panache,is undoubtedly Sir Roger Moore,KBE. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates all fifty years of Bond in all his guises, from the debonair flourish of Sean Connery to the beautiful beefcake of Daniel Craig.However,most excitingly,Roger Moore provides a distinctive and highly personal tribute that takes in all the films,along with a wonderfully witty account of his part in them.From the girls to the locations,from the gadgets to the villains,from the cars to the cocktails, this handsome book is illustrated with many iconic images from all of the Bond movies; plus previously unseen shots from the author's personal collection. With the addition of his signature and the limitation number of 5,000 worldwide, this is an item with a special cachet - since Roger is no longer with us - for any aficionado or collector of James Bond or of Roger Moore himself.No true aficianado should be without it and it will be an important and welcome addition to either the BOND or Roger Moore canon.
