I've been watching through all the Bond films from the beginning for the first time and I really want a great book that goes into detail about the making of the films, the history behind them, and behind-the-scenes stuff and trivia. Does anyone have recommendations for the best book to fit this criteria?

I'm not really interested in the life and history of Ian Fleming, the Fleming books, or critical analysis or assessments of the impact of the Bond films; I'm really specifically interested in the films.

I've seen a few books recommended; I'd love to hear if you recommend specific ones off this list or ones that aren't listed at all:

- The Art of Bond (Bouzereau) http://www.amazon.com/Art-Bond-Storyboard-Screen---Phenomenon/dp/0810954885/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425214550&sr=1-1&keywords=the+art+of+bond
- For Your Eyes Only (Giammarco) http://www.amazon.com/Your-Eyes-Only-Behind-Scenes/dp/1550224999/ref=sr_1_34?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425214727&sr=1-34&keywords=james+bond+films
- The Incredible World of 007 (Pfeiffer) http://www.amazon.com/INCREDIBLE-WORLD-007-Authorized-Celebration/dp/0806516984/ref=sr_1_51?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425214955&sr=1-51&keywords=james+bond+films
- James Bond: The Man and His World (Chancellor) http://www.amazon.com/James-Bond-Official-Companion-Flemings/dp/0719568153/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425213899&sr=1-1&keywords=James+Bond:+The+man+and+his+world
- James Bond: The Legacy (Cork) http://www.amazon.com/James-Bond-Legacy-John-Cork/dp/0810932962/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425213792&sr=1-1&keywords=james+bond+the+legacy
- James Bond Encyclopedia (Cork) http://www.amazon.com/James-Bond-Encyclopedia-John-Cork/dp/1465424733/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425213437&sr=1-1&keywords=james+bond
- James Bond Archives (Duncan) http://www.amazon.com/James-Bond-Archives-Paul-Duncan/dp/3836521059/ref=sr_1_9?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1425213437&sr=1-9&keywords=james+bond

James Bond Encyclopedia looks promising because it seems fairly comprehensive and it's updated to Skyfall. James Bond Archives looks awesome but it's extremely expensive.

Thanks for the help!
