James Bond Cars
£100.00
notes
Covering the James Bond cinematic franchise, this glorious book charts not just the twenty-five films’ legendary automobiles, but also all the other machines of land, sea, and air- whether motorcycles, helicopters, speedboats, blimps, snowmobiles, jet-packs, or even the bizarre one-offs developed specifically for Bond’s world (the “Little Nellie” autogyro from 1967’s ‘You Only Live Twice’ for example). Curated and introduced by Academy Award–winning special-effects supervisor Chris Corbould, OBE, who has worked on fifteen Bond films, the book features more than three hundred images, from rare behind-the-scenes stills to design drawings to production ephemera, lifting the curtain on the vehicles and how filmmakers engineered some of cinema’s most unforgettable stunts.
