The Assouline James Bond Destinations Book follows 007 across six decades and more than a hundred real-world locations, from a Jamaican shoreline to a rooftop chase through Rome. Author Daniel Pembrey — a frequent editorial collaborator with the production company behind the franchise — pairs the scenes themselves with the stories of how they were made, including the closure of Venice's Grand Canal for the first time in centuries.
It reads as much like a travel book as a film book. In the early sixties, when international travel was still rare, the Bond films sold audiences a version of the world worth chasing, and that promise is what fills these 328 pages and 233 illustrations. A natural centerpiece for a coffee table or bar cart, and an easy gift for anyone who has seen every film twice.
