On the tracks of 007

Description

When James Bond was first introduced to a worldwide cinema audience back in 1962, we suddenly entered a world beyond our imagination. Exotic places like Jamaica, Istanbul, Japan, Thailand and the Bahamas became synonyms for 007’s exciting adventures and were instantly part of the success formula. Nowadays, cheap international travel makes it possible for everyone to visit these locations and that is exactly what ‘On the tracks of 007’ will encourage you to do. In this detailed field guide, authors Martijn Mulder and the late Dirk Kloosterboer use 30 travel stories to explain exactly where even the smallest James Bond film scene was shot. Listing all used locations from Dr. No (1962) to Casino Royale (2006) and including information on the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace (2008), ‘On the tracks of 007’ brings you as close to the locations as you can get, enabling you to relive your favourite James Bond scenes and travel the world within the turn of a page. The large paperback book has a full colour interior and features no less than 665 photographs of how the filming locations look today. Together with carefully researched information – both on the history of the films and the locations – this 288 page travel guide is simply a must-have for fans, film buffs and adventurers. Includes a foreword by four time Bond director Guy Hamilton.
