This book will provide a who's who of every major character and actor who has ever taken part in the Bond phenomenon. Based on an encyclopaedia format with appropriate cross-referencing, "The Essential James Bond" lists each film alphabetically, supplying every detail the armchair secret agent delights in, including the actors, main locations, gadgets and vehicles. With the addition of rare black and white and colour photos from the archives of both the authors and the Bond film producers, Eon Productions, the spectacular world of 007 is brought to life.
