Hi Paul. I received my Art Edition James Bond Archives,"No Time to Die"Edition yesterday and I've got right into reading it Thoroughly enjoying it so far. The wealth of information I'm reading is amazing,I really like the way you take us through every step of the movie making process,the order in which the scenes were filmed. This book is a gem for us 007 fans,the ultimate Bond book in my opinion. I noticed the signature page is a lighter page than the rest of the books pages. Probably done to make it special! Well done on an excellent book,Paul.

Happy to hear that you received the book, Brett. And that you're enjoying it.

[@brettrobinson4352]

Awesome review, I've ordered the new XXL vereion which includes the new No Time to Die film. Can't wait to get it!

[@wordsmithpd]

BTW Sorry for the gaff about saying Saul Bass did the titles, when it was obviously Maurice Binder - doh!

[@Dragonfly-0010]

Amazing. And amazing you were so lucky to be given such privileged access to all that historical information. I would have gone nuts wanting to read every call sheet, find out where they all stayed on location - especially all the main actors, and who was paid how much?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great overview - thanks, Paul ;D (I have thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of your efforts, by the way!)

Hey there, Paul. Any reason why the Bond book (which I own) is smaller than your two Star Wars books (which I also own)? 25 films versus three. Also, are you doing the Sequel Trilogy Star Wars Archives?

[@wordsmithpd]

TASCHEN have an XXL size ($200/£150), and a Trade Edition size ($70/£50) which usually comes out several years later. XXL Bond came out 2012, a Trade Edition Bond (with Spectre) came out 2014, and a new XXL Bond (with No Time to Die) comes out Sept with the new movie. Currently no plans for any more Star Wars books from TASCHEN.

[@jeffreyarnold627]

Are there any plans to release a compact, less expensive edition (like the recent Star Wars and Disney Films editions)?

[@wordsmithpd]

No, in fact TASCHEN are releasing an XXL edition with a new No Time To Die chapter, when the new film is released.

Hi Paul. I am have taken the plunge and ordered the newly released, James Bond Archives Art Edition "No Time to Die" 501-1000, 3 signatures Can't wait to start reading this amazing book. I have 2 questions: Would Daniel Craig sign the book once it's completed, or does he sign the page before it's added to the book making process? Just wondered. The Limitless James Bond Archives NoTime to Die Stan Edition, how many copies are usually made of that book? Thanks for putting together such an amazing looking book for us the fans Regards from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@brettrobinson4352]

And 1000 copies in total of the James Bond Archives Art Edition is quite rare/limited...

[@wordsmithpd]

Hi Brett, The usual procedure for signed limited run books is for a signature page to be printed, and then those 1000 pages to be sent to the individuals around the world, wherever they may be, for signature, and then for that page to be inserted into the book during the binding process. I do not know how many copies have been printed/reprinted of the various editions but the first 2012 XXL edition of about 10k copies sold out in about a week... I hope you enjoy the book Brett! best -paul

@@wordsmithpd thank you Paul. That's great, i was more than happy to pay the 2000 US Dollars to own a book with not only Daniel Craig's signature, but also Michael Wilson's and Barbara Brocoli's too. I assume that's what gives the book the higher price over the regular James Bond Archives Edition.

[@brettrobinson4352]

@@wordsmithpd and 1000 copies with signatures is quite a small amount when you talk about the other Edition selling 10k in one week

[@wordsmithpd]

The book also comes with a limited edition photo, signed by top photographer Greg Williams, plus it's in a special clamshell case made for this edition. Hope you enjoy it!
