Synopsis

When James Bond was first introduced to a worldwide cinema audience back in 1962, we suddenly entered a world beyond our imagination. Exotic places like Jamaica, Istanbul, Japan, Thailand and the Bahamas became synonyms for 007's exciting adventures and were instantly part of the success formula. Nowadays, cheap international travel makes it possible for everyone to visit these locations and that is exactly what 'On the tracks of 007' will encourage you to do. In this detailed field guide, authors Martijn Mulder and the late Dirk Kloosterboer use 30 travel stories to explain exactly where even the smallest James Bond film scene was shot. Listing all used locations from Dr. No (1962) to Casino Royale (2006) and includes information on the latest Bond film Quantum of Solace (2008), 'On the tracks of 007' brings you as close to the locations as you can get, enabling you to relive your favourite James Bond scenes and travel the world within the turn of a page. The large paperback book has a black & white interior and features no less than 665 photographs of how the filming locations look today. Together with carefully researched information - both on the history of the films and the locations - this 288 page travel guide is simply a must-have for fans, film buffs and adventurers. Includes a foreword by four time Bond director Guy Hamilton. "Anyone who has the desire to travel in the tracks of 007 will find this excellent book a wonderful guide to the many exotic (and some not so exotic) locations around the world. Where the Bond traveller may once have wasted many valuable hours in an effort to locate the various film locations in whichever country, Martijn Mulder and (the late) Dirk Kloosterboer's exhaustive work has lifted that burden from all 007 holidaymakers, making their trip to that country even more enjoyable. No Bond fan who's thinking of visiting any of the countries in which 007 has had adventures should be without this indispensable guide!" Graham Rye - Editor & Publisher - 007 MAGAZINE

Review

"No Bond fan who's thinking of visiting any of the countries in which 007 has had adventures should be without this indispensable guide! Where the Bond traveller may once have wasted many valuable hours in an effort to locate the various film locations in whichever country, Martijn Mulder and Dirk Kloosterboer's exhaustive work has lifted that burden from all 007 holidaymakers, making their trip to that country even more enjoyable." Graham Rye - Editor & publisher of 007 Magazine "What a great resource for the true 007 fan. This book was my initial reason to start the location hunt for all these exotic and beautiful James Bond locations. It turned into a valuable and unique travel companion to visit the original places around the world where this famous movie series was filmed over the last five decades. Marvelous!" -Uwe Brosamle- USA "This is a very nice and good book. Perfect. I am very pleased with it. I have already recommended the book to many of my 007 friends. This is a perfect guide with good information where and when and how to get on the right spot." - Nils Winblad- Denmark "Your book came today, and it is absolutely gorgeous! We are going to Europe next month and can hardly wait to use your book when we visit many of the James Bond locations in various parts of the world. Thank you so much for writing it!" - Randy & Cathy Patterson- USA "Congratulations on your amazing accomplishment with the publication of "On The Tracks of 007." I purchased it yesterday, and have hardly put it down since. I showed a very knowledgeable 007 friend a chapter from your book a few days ago and he was extremely impressed. He said your book, plus John Griswold's, would be the only two books any serious Bond fan would need. Thanks again for such excellent information, presented in such a fun and beautiful way. I feel sorry for anyone who opts for the Black & White version. They don't know what they are missing. The photos are gorgeous and need to be experienced in full colour." - James McMahon - USA "Nobody does (or has done) it better when it comes to tracking down locations used in the making of the James Bond films." - Anders Frejdh, Founding Editor of From Sweden with Love "Last week I received my color limited edition of ON THE TRACKS OF 007. Prior to trips I often consulted with friends who owned copies of your marvelous book, so you can imagine my delight to finally have my own copy. I cannot begin to tell you how much I am enjoying reviewing the locations I have already visited and discovering new information. The accuracy, historical context, photos and text are amazing." - Steve Oxenrider - USA "It is absolutely fabulous. Well done!" - Dave Worrall - Editor and publisher of Cinema Retro "Thanks a lot for a superb book!" - Alexander Nymberg - Sweden "Fantastic guide to 007 locations worldwide! It is by far the best location book around." - James Sieff - USA "Fantastic stuff - really very interesting. A really good read. Well done." - Ajay Chowdhury - author 'Some kind of hero' "My best compliments, it's a masterpiece!" - Edward Coffrini Dell'Orto - Italy "I just wanted to let you know I'm really impressed with the quality of the material in every aspect (from the paper used at the press to the writen contents and the fabulous pictures!) This is really a TOP which may only possibly be overcome (or even better saying, enriched) by visiting the places in person. Congratulations on this wonderful achievment and thanks for sharing it wih us all Bond fans around the globe! I'm considering buying another copy, B&W, to be the one to accompany me on my travels and keep this beautiful color edition in my library to enjoy it with care for it to last forever." - Gustavo Campos - Brazil
