We're coming up on Autumn of a James Bond movie release year... which means collectors can look forward to plenty of new books about 007 timed to tie in with the film's release!
DK Publishing has posted
a preview of one of the most anticipated ones, their eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2012's beautiful, slipcased art book
James Bond: 50 Years of Movie Posters (which will be getting a
new paperback edition). The new book,
Bond by Design: The Art of the James Bond Films, showcases concept art and storyboards from EON Productions' 24 James Bond films, right up through
SPECTRE. Here's the official blurb from the publisher: "Featuring the work of legendary Bond film designers such as Ken Adam, Peter Lamont, and Syd Cain,
Bond by Design brings the James Bond art department's story right up to date with behind-the-scenes artwork from the latest film,
SPECTRE. With two exclusive prints and authoritative text by EON's own archivist, Meg Simmonds,
Bond by Design provides unique, spectacular, and fascinating insights into this hugely successful film franchise." Retailing for $50.00, the 320-page, large-format hardcover will be published on October 6, and is available for pre-order now at a substantial discount
on Amazon. Here are some gorgeous sample pages:
This book will be worth it just for the storyboard drawings alone. The DK Bond poster book was phenomenal, so I'm hoping this one will be similar. Thanks for the heads-up!
