Summary

Agent 007 stars in his greatest adventure in this all-inclusive reference guide to all things Bond. The Book of Bond catalogues facts even the most die-hard fans don't know, with every aspect of the Bond phenomenon detailed from A to Z. From Academy Award nominations and wins, beauty queen heroines and hotels where Bond stayed to locations for lovemaking and more, it's the ultimate Bond dossier. An example of the detail the authors delight in:

Goldfinger's 1937 Rolls-Royce Phantom III

The culmination of thousands of hours of research, with the cooperation of such luminary institutions such as The British Film Institute and the Simplon Orient-Express, The Book of Bond is the first all-inclusive Bond almanac-encyclopedia!
