The Definitive Story Of You Only Live Twice: Fleming, Bond and Connery in Japan, Paperback/Graham Thomas

Descriere

Description'Here's one of the most niche Bond Books I've read recently and it's very good.' Prof Neil Martin.'It's a wonderfully researched and well-written book.' @My Budget Bond'Wonderfully Informative as usual from Mr Thomas.' Reader review from Literary 007.'The quality and variety is endlessly fascinating.' Reader review from Literary 007.'An excellent and much needed insight into the once mysterious Mr Saito ' Reader review from Literary 007. This is the fan's guide to the writing and filming of You Only Live Twice, bringing you much that you might have never known before. Now over fifty years old it remains one of Fleming's most fascinating stories whether in book or film form. It is also the story with the longest and most interesting gestation that started when Fleming first visited Japan in 1959, and then only came to some sort of finale when the film was released in 1968. This is the definitive story of the story; a story that is a literary history, a film history, a travel book, and is definitely more than just a film location guide. The reader will be taken on a unique 007 journey. If you love James Bond you'll love the insights and details; if you love Japan, you will find it equally enjoyable and will want to follow in the same footsteps as Fleming and Bond. Written by Graham Thomas who is a critically acclaimed author of books about Japan and a regular contributor to Literary 007, (a must-view resource for the serious James Bond buff) this book has hundreds of pages packed with detail never published before. And it comes in three forms: a text only version (without photographs) for this who want to be able to adjust the type size; an illustrated version with hundreds of images, and finally you can also buy it as paperback but also text only.
