Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Where's the art?
This is my first review and unfortunately it's a stinker. I'm a concept artist and a James Bond fan, so I eagerly anticipated the arrival of this book. When I finally got it, I skimmed through the many pages just to get an initial impression. It wasn't good. I asked myself repeatedly, "where's the artwork?" -- where's the many conceptual sketches, prop designs, miniatures, paintings, novel illustrations, etc. Don't get me wrong, the book does contain such content, but only to a surprising minimal degree. The book should be more accurately titled, Bond: A Derivative Photo Album. Most all of the content is comprised of snap-shots from newer movies.
If you are an artist I would not recommend this. In fact, avoid it.
Rating:  - A 'must read' for all James Bond fans!
It's hard to easily peg this title: readers interested in James Bond, film history, and art will equally find plenty fascinating in THE ART OF BOND: FROM STORYBOARD TO SCREEN - THE CREATIVE PROCESS BEHIND THE JAMES BOND PHENOMENON. Those who have participated in the Bond ideal, from writers to designers and producers, here share their memories and experiences working on some of the major films which made Bond a popular figure. All twenty-one Bond films are included in a survey which pairs color photos with history and captures the exciting works and challenges of bringing Bond to life. It's a pick not just for film and art libraries, but for general-interest collections - and a 'must read' for all James Bond fans!

Rating:  - the edges were worn
very nice book but the edges of the front and back cover were a little worn suggesting it had been used before even though i bought it "new".
Rating: - The Art of Bond
This a very well done photo essay of the history of James Bond. I would recommend it to every James Bond fan.
Rating: - Nice book but...
I bought this for my brother for Christmas. The first time it arrived the cover was worn. So I let Amazon know and they sent me another right away (in time for Christmas again). Although the second one was better the cover still looked worn. I just thought for such a nice product on the inside, the outside didn't look so great.
