Publication of Bond on Bond: Reflections on 50 years of James Bond Movies by Sir Roger Moore. The book is published by Lyons Press in America.
The Bond movies remain the longest continually running film series in movie history, and
2012 marks its fiftieth anniversary. To celebrate these universally adored films, their cultural history, and wide appeal, Sir Roger Moore, KBE, has written a book that features all the Bond movies, along with a wonderfully witty account of his own involvement in them. From the girls to the villains, the cars to the cocktails, and oh so many gadgets,
Bond on Bond has it all. This sumptuous book is illustrated with over 400 iconic images from all the films including many previously unseen photos from the Bond archive as well as photos from Moore's personal collection. And while there have been other actors that have taken on the coveted role of James Bond, Moore, the longest starring 007, is certainly one of the most renowned and beloved. Written with all the affection and good humor he brought to the role, his charming wit and charismatic personality come through on every page.
This the ultimate Bond book, written by the ultimate insider, and for this reason, Bond on Bond is not to be missed. It will dazzle and delight 007 fans of all ages and with out a doubt, leave them feeling both shaken and stirred.
