Marinis, Girls & Guns --Definitive guide to James Bond

This first-ever definitive guide to all the James Bond books and films is a topnotch reference and enjoyable read. Far more than a trivia book, MM&G delves deep into the books and movies themselves to find the backstories and Hollywood politics that created the mythology of the spy-and the genre-we know today.

Who was the first to play James Bond? The answer is not Sean Connery in Dr. No as youd think. Who were the others in the Double O section and what happened to them?

The answer to these and many other questions is to be found in Martinis Girls and Guns -- The World Of James Bond In Film And Print. In this first-ever definitive guide to the books and films, author Cristopher Henessey-DeRose gathers in one place everything you ever wanted to know about that 20th-century icon, James Bond. It includes a Bond biography, as well as that notorious martini recipe.

Far more than a trivia book, MM&G delves deep into the books and movies themselves to find the backstories and Hollywood politics that created the mythology of the spy-and the genre-we know today. The reader discovers why some movies are similar to the books and some arent, and what little-known short stories by Ian Fleming found their way to the screen. You learn how it all came together, and watch James Bond evolve while feeling like youve got an Eyes Only security authorization.

The detailed filmography is a topnotch reference. Its got the names of all the good guys, the bad guys, and the actors who played them. Its got all the songs and performers listed, not just the theme music. This is a book not to be missed by Bond fans, or anyone who knows the meaning of the number 007.
