To Celebrate 50 Years Of James Bond! I pre-ordered the Blu Ray 007 23 video collection set from Amazon.com in January since it had a picture months ago of this book "James Bond-50 Years of Movie Posters" as an Amazon Exclusive. Then I later found out that the book Amazon was offering for "FREE" as a bonus with the Blu Ray collection was abridged to something like 77 pages. Really a teaser. So I bought the complete book separate from Amazon.com which is 350 pages. I ordered the video set separately too. Both had free shipping. The hard cover book is very nicely published in the United States by DK Publishing. The book comes in a very nice heavy cardboard sleeve and the quality of the poster pages are printed on slick paper stock and very nice. Plus there is an envelope on the left inside top book cover for two commemorative poster reproduction print outs. One from the Italian 39" x 55" "Dr. No" and the poster artwork from "Octopussy" The book is by production designer Dennis Gassner. I do wish that someone had proof read the book prior to publication to check for errors. I have enjoyed Tony Nourmands book for years. I think Tony would have been a good choice. Some of the posters are pictured as original first release and it's very plain to see some are re-releases. The Transamerica logo is the major give away on the early Sean Connery 007 Bonds. During the early Sean Connery Bond films era Transamerica did not own United Artists. There are other small errors in descriptions too. But it is a very nice quality book. Very much worth the $27.00 from Amazon.com. The Blu Ray set is wonderful too and I was able to purchase it for only $150.00 with free shipping. --Tom Pennock Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
