Accessible online since 1995, 'On the tracks of 007 - a field guide to the exotic James Bond filming locations' is finally being published in print on September 1, 2008 by DMD DIGITAL.
In this detailed travel guide, authors Martijn Mulder and the late Dirk Kloosterboer use 30 travel stories to explain exactly where even the smallest James Bond film scene was shot. The comprehensive guide lists all used locations from Dr. No (1962) to Casino Royale (2006) and includes information on the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace (2008).
The A4-sized book has a very unique, colourful design and features no less than 665 photographs of how the filming locations look today. Together with carefully researched information - both on the history of the films and the locations - this 288 page travel guide is simply a must-have for fans, film buffs and adventurers.
