ABOUT THE BOOK

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 including 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 is available with B/W and full colour 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.

About the authors

Having first met at a James Bond exhibition in the German town of Hildesheim, Martijn Mulder and Dirk Kloosterboer discovered a mutual passion for writing, traveling and James Bond locations. They decided to team up and traveled together or individually to the corners of the world, in order to write and photograph what would become ON THE TRACKS OF 007. After the untimely death of Kloosterboer in 2004, Mulder took a break but eventually pushed the project forward with the help of friends from the Bond community.

ON THE TRACKS OF 007 was self-published in 2008 and the groundbreaking publication is still widely regarded as the bible of James Bond location hunting.
