I bought the
James Bond 50 Years of Movie Posters. It is a nice book but it states that it covers all the movies up to and including Skyfall which is a big overstatement, if not a plain lie. It covers up to Quantum of Solace. For Skyfall, it has only ONE poster, the "International" format, nothing else. Even a description about Skyfall is missing. They only have this one poster for Skyfall and absolutely nothing else. So, they put it there just to be able to advertise that the book "covers all 25 JB movies to date".
Also, they start each section, for each movie, with a big picture of the UK quad except for Casino Royale (2006) and obviously Skyfall. Why not show the final UK quad for Casino Royale, I don't know. They use the advance version which is pretty much the same as the final but with the release date, still not the final version.
For the price, around US$30, it is still worthy, if you want to see tons of JB posters. It is big and heavy. But I am sure that there will never be a comprehensive and complete book of ALL official JB posters ever produced. Too many countries, too many movies, too many formats, too many variations, too many styles...
I also bought the book
The Official 007 Collection James Bond Movie Posters. I could not resist the price: US$1.50 (plus US$3 for S&H). It was supposed to be a paperback version but I received the hardcover, and it is in mint condition. I will not complain and not return it...
. But I am glad I paid this much for it because it is essentially the same as the first one but covering all the movies except the most recent ones (3 or 4 last ones). It has the same size, same pictures, with little variation from the newer book. They changed a little the order, layout, but it is the same book. The author is different but I am skeptical. The two books are so alike that it is weird to think that they have different authors. Probably the same people is behind both books.
The newer book has more posters than the older one for all the movies though.
