"Here’s a rather nifty companion piece to the authors’ Some Kind of Hero, 2015, which chronicled the history of the Bond movies; this one takes a look at where the movies are set, where they
were filmed, and how Bond author Ian Fleming’s geographic inspirations were translated to the big screen. The book is bursting at the seams with illustrations, too: everything the reader
needs to feel as though they have visited the iconic locations where Bond saved the world from evil. For a Bond fan, the book should be required reading."

"One of the best things about the book is that each chapter/title contains two maps. The first is more of a global-view illustration that displays the routes Bond takes in the film on any continents involved, whether they be by plane, boat, or car. The second map is that of a single important location in the film, perhaps a city, in which key events take place. One can, in a sense, revisit each 007 movie by diving into these pages. It belongs on any Bond fan’s bookshelf."
