Product information "Coffee Table Book James Bond Cars"
Some cars travel roads. Others make cinema history.
Most cars are built to get us from one place to another. Some, however, save the world, disappear from radar screens or emerge dramatically from the sea. The James Bond Cars Coffee Table Book by Assouline celebrates exactly those extraordinary machines, taking readers on a captivating journey through more than sixty years of cinematic history. Part of the prestigious Assouline Classics Collection, this remarkable volume spans 312 English-language pages and explores the legendary vehicles that helped define the world's most iconic secret agent. Bound in an elegant blue and silver silk hardcover, the book echoes the sophisticated visual language of the Bond universe while serving as a striking design object in its own right. Measuring 25 x 33 cm and weighing 3.2 kg, it commands attention whether displayed on a coffee table, bookshelf or console.
Written by Academy Award-winning special effects coordinator Chris Corbould, the book offers a rare behind-the-scenes perspective on the vehicles that became unforgettable stars of the James Bond franchise. Through exclusive archive photography, production imagery, technical drawings and fascinating stories, readers discover how these machines evolved from transportation into cinematic icons. From the legendary Aston Martin DB5 featured in Goldfinger to the Lotus Esprit submarine car and modern masterpieces such as the Aston Martin DB10 and Valhalla concept, each chapter reveals the innovation, craftsmanship and imagination behind Bond's most memorable rides. More than a traditional automotive book, this Assouline edition blends design, film culture and luxury publishing into one exceptional collector's piece.

The vehicles of the James Bond films have always been more than props. They create atmosphere, define unforgettable scenes and often become as famous as the characters themselves.

Richly illustrated with cinematic photography, rare archival material and production imagery, every page delivers visual impact. The result is a sophisticated lifestyle book that appeals not only to Bond enthusiasts but also to lovers of automotive design, luxury publishing and contemporary interiors.
