A propos de cet article

First impression of the first American edition (dual-published in 1972 in the UK and the USA by The Tantivy Press, London & A. S. Barnes & Co., South Brunswick and New York respectively). With the attractive wraparound pop-art illustration design by Stefan Dreja on the dustwrapper. Profusely illustrated with over one hundred black and white cinema stills from the Bond films. ***Near fine in pale grey paper-covered boards with black titles to the spine (the UK produced first edition has pink cloth-covered boards and was produced in a smaller format). The boards are clean and unmarked. Edges of boards just slightly rubbed. Very small light crease to the bottom edge of the front board. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Page block edges clean. Internally also near fine with no inscriptions. Offsetting to front and rear pastedowns. No foxing. Pages clean. Thin paper used but no creases or tears. ***In a near fine colour illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of $6.95. The dustwrapper is complete, the edges just very slightly rubbed. No creases, chips or tears. Spine colours just slightly faded. Dustwrapper bright and clean. 176 pages including two appendixes at the back of the book. 260mm x 174mm. ***Contents: Introduction, Chapter 1. Why So Popular?; 2. Dr. No; 3. From Russia with Love; 4. Goldfinger; 5. Thunderball; 6. You Only Live Twice; 7. On Her Majesty's Secret Service; 8. Diamonds Are Forever; Appendix 1: Offshoots of Bond; Appendix 2: Credits. *** 'James Bond, Agent 007, is probably the most popular literary and screen hero of the postwar period. Ian Fleming began writing his Bond thrillers in the early fifties, but it was not until almost ten years later that Dr. No, From Russia with Love, and Goldfinger were brought to the cinema. These films broke box-office records everywhere, and made Sean Connery, the Scot who played Bond, into a Superstar of spectacular proportions. Now with Diamonds Are Forever fresh in the minds of millions, this book offers an entertaining assessment of Bond on the screen. John Brosnan, a freelance writer who has reviewed films in Australia, captures the tongue-in-cheek suspense of the Bond thrillers as he describes, in precise detail, virtually every sequence of Dr. No, from Russia with love, Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and Diamonds Are Forever. The author also indicates how various tense moments and special effects were achieved, and he discusses the initiative of Harry Saltzman and Albert ("Cubby") Broccoli in launching the series through their company, Eon Productions. In a valuable Appendix, there is coverage of Casino Royale, based on the novel by Ian Fleming, but made by a different team to the Connery pictures; and of the other films that tried to cash in on the phenomenal success of the 007 series. The full credits and cast lists for the Eon productions are also given. his attractive volume contains over one hundred stills from the Bond films, and these illustrations, together with Mr. Brosnan's amusing and compulsively readable text, make James Bond in the Cinema an excellent acquisition for anyone who has enjoyed either the novels or the films - or both.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***First impression of the first American edition of "James Bond in the Cinema", with the attractive vibrant colour pop art dustwrapper design by Stefan Dreja in nice bright collectable condition. ***Of interest to collectors of the work of Ian Fleming and those interested in the James Bond films in particular. Uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. …
