Book Presentation:
The most memorable dialogue and witty one-liners from all 25 official James Bond films, quoting 007, M, Q, Moneypenny, Bond villains and more!

“Bond. James Bond.” The iconic line from James Bond’s first big-screen scene has been endlessly quoted and imitated since, and the memorable dialogue and witty one-liners stand alongside the glamorous locations, breath-taking stunts and creative gadgets as one of the many reasons the films are so beloved the world over.

The Wit & Wisdom of James Bond includes the very best quotes, quips and pearls of wisdom from all 25 films. From “Shocking. Positively shocking,” to “Choose your next witticism carefully, Mr Bond. It may be your last,” (Goldfinger) this official book collects the greatest killer one-liners from the world’s most famous “licensed troubleshooter”, as well as M, Q, Moneypenny, Bond villains and more.

From the back cover:
At the intersection of the visual, graphic, and cinematic arts, film posters are a unique and thrilling record of a particular cultural Zeitgeist. This book brings together 250 posters from the pre-Stalin Soviet Union of the 1920s and 1930s to explore the energy and invention of this period, before Soviet Realism became the official art doctrine.

Drawn from the private collection of connoisseur Susan Pack, the selection includes the work of 27 different artists. From bold figuration to architectural elements, each artist displays a distinct style and aesthetic, as much as they collectively eschew the glamour of Hollywood for more stark, striking, even challenging images, often marked by unusual angles, dynamic compositions, and startling close-ups.
