Description

Oscar-winning production designer Peter Lamont worked behind the scenes on 18 lames Bond films, beginning with the 1960s classics starring Sean Connery and George Lazenby. From the 1980s onwards he was the production designer of the films starring Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Along the way, he worked with director James Cameron and contributed to The Ipcress File and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, some of the other films made by Bond producers Albert R Broccoli and Harry Saltzman. The Man With the Golden Eye is a richly illustrated memoir that provides an unparalleled insight into some of the best-loved films ever made.

This deluxe, full-colour hardback is packed full of previously unseen images from the collection of James Bond production designer Peter Lamont. As well as photographs, designs and other images from Peter Lamont's collection, the book features numerous rare pictures from the archive of James Bond production company Eon. Peter Lamont is well-known to James Bond fans as one of the series' longest-serving contributors. His career on the Bond films began with Goldfinger (1964) starring Sean Connery and came to an end with Casino Royale (2006) starring Daniel Craig. The book includes a foreword by James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
