'James Bond Destinations'

The world's most famous secret agent is also the world's best travelled. From idyllic Jamaican beaches to baroque Venetian palazzos, marble palaces in India to ancient Egyptian temples, the itineraries of James Bond have been anything but simple. In Assouline's 'James Bond Destinations' author Daniel Pembrey explores the real life locations featured in the Bond cinema franchise — more than a hundred real-life destinations over sixty years — for a series of glamorous and exciting journeys that have raised the bar with each film released. Accompanied by insider insights and memorable scenes, each chapter in this exhaustive volume charts the way in which the Bond experience has not only encouraged audiences to dream of glamorous and exciting vacations, but also established itself as a trusted concierge.
