ASSOULINE

James Bond Cars book

From Aston Martins fitted with ejector seats and water cannons to the Lotus Esprit converted into a submarine, and even a Venetian gondola reimagined as a hovercraft, the vehicles featured in the James Bond film franchise are just as iconic as the spy himself. Discover *James Bond Cars*, Assouline’s third fully authorised book dedicated to 007 (following *James Bond Destinations* and *James Bond Style*) and the most comprehensive guide ever published, not only on the legendary cars from the twenty-five films, but also on all the other must-see vehicles – whether on land, at sea and in the air – be they motorbikes, helicopters, speedboats, airships, snowmobiles, jetpacks, or even the unique and bizarre vehicles developed specifically for the Bond universe (one thinks in particular of the autogyro ‘Little Nellie’ from the 1967 film *You Only Live Twice*).

Organised and presented by Chris Corbould, OBE, the Oscar-winning special effects supervisor who has worked on fifteen James Bond films, *James Bond Cars* is both a comprehensive visual catalogue and an insider’s account of how filmmakers devised some of cinema’s most unforgettable stunts. The book contains over three hundred images, ranging from rare behind-the-scenes photographs to technical drawings and ephemeral production documents, and Corbould’s commentary reveals the secrets behind these masterful sequences (think technical tricks, stunts filmed in a single take, near-disasters) and the vehicles that made them possible.Size & Fit: Dimensions: W 25 x W 33 x D 4 cm
