James Bond Movie Posters: The Official 007 Collection
The guns, the girls, the gadgets, all the key ingredients of Bond- James Bond-are captured in this one-of-a-kind collection of movie posters. Gathered from the archives of Eon Productions and published to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Bond movies and the release of the newest James Bond movie, James Bond Movie Posters depicts in hot type and bold color four decades of our favorite spy in action. Film-goers first encountered the trademark gun barrel logo on the poster for Dr. No , produced in 1962 to promote the first official Bond movie. Then followed the famous image of Bond with a gun across his chest on the poster for From Russia with Love , Goldfinger s startling golden girl, and the inimitable Pussy Galore. These images have become some of the most memorable visual teasers in cinematic history and are now one of the hottest items of memorabilia among both Bond aficionados and movie collectors. This collection features over 200 original posters, including posters that were never released, limited edition festival posters, and rare advance posters. They are all meticulously reproduced in this oversized, full-color paperback. "James Bond is back in action! Everything he touches turns to excitement!"

This is an art book - plain and simple.
The paintings are stunning and remind us of a time before pompous TV ads and Internet campaigns - when poster art meant something.
Even though the collection is not complete (that would take several more books) I think it is "the best of..." as well as concept art, which by itself is worth the price of the book.
The book is oversized and the printing if of quality, so you can enjoy the classic posters as well as the more recent ones.
Well worth the money.
