I just purchased this book earlier today.... A very good look at the posters from every Bond movie with detailed descriptions to each one.. Some of the posters have never been seen before as they weren't released to the public. Highly recommended!

A sneak peek at whats inside...

    @imranbecks, could you post a pic from the QOS related pages? I saw in a video a very interesting Agent Fields poster.

    They are in one book.. Very thick and heavy too. I do not have the one they released a few years ago, but from my understanding, this one is totally different.

    So the cover uses the Octopussy poster?
    What a way to attract you. I know what I'll be buying shortly.

    Yes.. The front of the folder is Octopussy, but on the back its of the Dr No poster I think.. Honey Ryder is really attracting you there too..hahaha...

    Looking forward to getting my hands on this. But my birthdays coming up in November so may have to let the fiancee get me it as its 'proper present and not just dvds'. did anyone have the 40th edition from 2002, I missed out on it and I'm determined not to miss this one

    Alan007, I had that one and I went to my local Barnes & Noble to check out the new version to see how it compared. The 40th anniversary stopped at TWINE and didn't have DAD, the 50th actually bothers to include the Skyfall teaser and in addition to that, actually EXPANDS on the chapters featuring the previous films with new posters and concept art! It's definitely a way to go and an improvement on the previous edition! I plan on getting it soon!

    I picked my copy up today and while it's certainly more extensive I'm not totally convinced it's worth getting if you already have the Tony Nourmand book, though the dreadful lobby cards are rather interesting, especially the one on page 160 from TMWTGG with a big grinning J W Pepper and Roger looking like he's doing something very rude to Maud Adams!

    I see this book today in store for £30 also next to the book was this... http://www.amazon.co.uk/James-Bond-50th-Anniversary-Postcards/dp/0756698448

    A nice box with 100 postcards from DR to SF, in store it's 14.99! much cheaper online.

    **EDIT**

    This "Hardcover" version is the one I see in store

    So, my amazing girlfriend actually bought the book for me off Amazon before I got around to purchasing it and it's really great! I see the main page has a story about it being pulled from their sales listings. Does anyone know why? What's this about errors? I have yet to read it all, but have yet to spot any.

    I was wondering the same thing myself.. I have not looked through the entire book yet as I've been busy, but so far, I've not seen or read any errors in the book...

    And the Solange one is indeed beautiful...

    PS: I still don't get why the book is being pulled from Amazon.. I see no errors whatsoever...

    I havent got it so I cannot comment on what is wrong, but I believe that this was driven by Graham Rye and if anybody knows whether the text is incorrect (its happened in plenty of books like this alredy published) then i'm about 100% sure that its the correct decision.
    Thats unless Graham has stockpiled 500 copies and is trying to make them rarer :)

    This in my local bookstore, but it's a bit expensive yet. I'll wait for the sales or see can I get it in London next month for a better price.

    The unused posters of Solange and Vesper are absolutely gorgeous!
