Book Presentation:
Breaking Down Six Decades of James Bond Movies
#1 New Release in Action & Adventure Movies & Video, and Movie Reference
Hosts Mike Kalinowski and Brad Gilmore team up in this comprehensive examination of the longest running film series in the history of cinema. In Bond, James Bond, they explore the cinematic history of the James Bond collection to celebrate everything it got right and reflect on everything it got wrong.
The complete cinematic biographies of James Bond. Since his initial portrayal by Sean Connery, James Bond has become a timeless icon worldwide. Now, comes the first-ever era-by-era breakdown of the much loved international spy—on and off the silver screen. Following the men who portrayed James Bond—Daniel Craig, Pierce Brosnan, Timothy Dalton, Roger Moore, and Sean Connery—readers will discover the characteristics that made him resonate, as well as the less glamorous relics that made him evolve.
For fans of the Ian Fleming James Bond novels and movies. Cinephiles and fans can finally unscramble some of the best action movies of all time. Covering everything from cars to court cases, Bond, James Bond looks at the evolution of the 007 movies from all angles.
Featuring bonus chapters on Bond women and musical scores, inside, you’ll also find:
• The origins of 007 in the early James Bond books
• Off-screen politics, drama, and movements that shifted the series trajectory
• The “other” James Bond, comic books, and animated series
If you’re looking for Father’s Day gifts, gifts for men, or James Bond gifts—and enjoyed books like Some Kind of Hero, Nobody Does it Better, or Shaken—then you’ll love Bond, James Bond.

Press Reviews:
"Roger Moore was always my favorite Bond. James Bond could handle a weapon, knew how to fight and always got the girl—he was the ultimate man’s man! Brad and Mike excellently lay out the origins of Bond and how the character has evolved over the years. I, for one, can most certainly dig that!"
—Booker T., author of My Rise to Wrestling Royalty
"Brad and Mike found the perfect blend of childlike wonder and thoughtful analysis. They have knowledge and an endless array of interesting tidbits, but see everything through the eyes of the fans, which is ultimately what makes this so enjoyable."
—Peter Rosenberg, Hot97 & ESPN
"Eureka! Brad and Mike provide a detailed historical account to one of America's most endeared entertainment franchises!"
—Cedric Duplechain, co-star on AMC’s The Son, starring Pierce Brosnan
"James Bond is one of the greatest movie characters of all time, and Brad Gilmore and Mike Kalinowski do an incredible job of celebrating why 007 has left such an indelible mark on pop culture, regardless of the actor playing him. From the villains, to the drinks and the gadgets, this will make you love the Bond franchise even more!"
—Chris Van Vliet, four-time Emmy-Award-winning TV host
