I have the later DN, along with MR, DAF and OHMSS from that series. I used to have GF and LALD as well. No idea where they went to. Got myself other editions of those.
Interesting! I think I've seen a few of these books pop up on auction sites on a few occasions. A bit too pricey for paperbacks, though.
I got mine from a second hand shop in Oslo. Fair price, too.
Never had any luck with second hand shops myself (particularly with books like these). Maybe next time.
Fantastic archive @Therealthunderballs thanks for sharing.
Fantastic find.
It certainly is! Don't think I've ever seen it before.
Who's this Stavros Flatley guy?
I think it's interesting to compare the reference photos to the final artwork, so you see where they're similar and where they differ – and to get a bit of insight into how Sam Peffer approached the task of making these covers.
There's a lot of great content on the Illustrated 007 website, by the way!

Goldfinger posters by Todd Slater for Mondo:
Cool photos though!
That is a fantastic photo! Thanks for posting! :-bd
The best thing about Twitter is when this kind of content pops up in your feed! George Lazenby's Twitter account retweeted this tweet. I wonder if he manages it himself?
love it... Captures everything about the film, and the era...
I think it's his best Bond poster yet! Love all the details he's managed to include, and the colour palette.
That would be fantastic. An illustrated variant poster would no doubt be a popular item!
Oh, those are soooo good. Love the FRWL one.
So agree! Love Patrice, wish there was more of him in Skyfall for sure.
Those photos are great. 007 watermark; are they from 007.com Patrice focus of the week?
I really like them all, and the FRWL one is maybe my favourite too!
That's a good point actually. But I think this one (and the two others; DN and FRWL) were commissions, and that might had an impact how prominent certain elements are.
Or Twitter/Instagram perhaps?
Oh well, with Tatiana doing that...pose...how could we resist?
Very good point!
I’d never noticed before that on the cover of FRWL he’s wearing a pink bow tie! :D
Or a line at least! :) I don’t think he gets to say anything at all, does he?
No, not as far as I remember. It's funny, because he's a charismatic guy; maybe they thought he'd be too memorable with dialogue? :-D
