Interesting; the DUD version has some nice photos (although at the expense of anything terribly in depth in the text).

Didn't buy the DAD one- it just looked too lacking in behind the scenes info. Nice pictures, though.

I'm annoyed by this. They can put the behind the scene's pictures onthe DVD or something. What I want to read is an in-depth making of like GoldenEye had. That was very interesting to read how they selected the new Bond, decided to build Leavesden Studios, how they shot the tank chase etc.
Casino Royale is also in the same situation, I'd like to read why they selected Daniel Craig, who else screen-tested, why they chose Prague and the other locations, why they brought in Paul Haggis, how they had to change the novel to fit the screen etc. But instead we're just gonna get pictures, great! Remember, if you can't beat them... beat them! They'll be expecting you to join them!

I'm excited to hear about both releases. Hope we see many more announced in the upcoming weeks!

Wow! What surprise to see this show up so early. Nice find, [dark]. I love "making of" books.
DK, eh? What happened to Boxtree? Weren't they the Bond publisher? |

Weren't they the Bond publisher? Boxtree is still "the" publisher in England, books released in the U.S. are different. DK has already done the very popular Secret World of James Bond. David Worral tells me that he'll be doing a CR tie-in book as well. I don't know if it's this or another. I know a great restaurant in Karachi.

The DAD one was a bit desparate as a making of book - hoping the CR one will be back to facts and figures.
With the wealth of material available as above, Bond choice, book to film history etc, they really would be missing a trick if it were just a bunch of photos. ________________________________________________

The DAD book had great pics but not much substance... Is it too much to ask for both this time?...
 But today is the thirteenth... |

I'll welcome it into my collection in just under a year or so from now.
The thing I dislike in some of these books is when they do a synopsis of the film. Most likely, we've already seen it, and if we haven't, why would we want to read about it? So what does this add? If I want to read more about what went on in the film, I'll read the tie-in novel. "You didn't think I'd miss this performance, did you?"

I for one would love to read a real "making of" book about this movie that tells us what really happened with Brosnan, the casting of Craig, the relationship between Sony/Eon, etc. There is a fascinating behind the scenes story here that I guarantee we will not read in any official book.

There's got to be some Eon fringe employee who'd find it worth burning the bridges with Eon to write the Bond tell-all of all Bond tell-alls! Any publishers in the house willing to post a 6-figure advance? |
