On the occasion of the release of the boxed set of all the James Bond films, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the franchise, Sir Roger Moore, now 84, whom some consider a better James Bond than Sean Connery, has written a kind of companion piece to the films, the ultimate 007 tome, titled Bond on Bond, and if it’s even slightly as good as Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde, it will be a wonderful surprise indeed. The UK site FilmNews has this to say about the book: “A wonderfully witty account of Sir Roger’s own involvement in the Bond film franchise. From the girls to the villains, from the cars to the cocktails, from the gadgets to the locations, this beautiful book is illustrated with many iconic images from all the films plus many previously unseen shots. This is the ultimate James Bond book, written by the ultimate James Bond, with all the affection and good humour he brought to the role. It is the perfect gift for all fans of this much-loved series.” Pictured here is Sir Roger signing advance copies of his book for fans at Harrods department store in London. Bond on Bond will be released October 16. Look inside on Amazon. (Photos: Pacific Coast News)
