Essential Book of the Filming of CASINO ROYALE, October 24, 2006
By gobirds2 (New Englnd)
This collection of images from CASINO ROYALE is an essential companion to the 2006 James Bond film just as "Bond on Set: 007 Filming Die Another Day" was for that film. "Bond on Set: 007 Filming Die Another Day" evoked visual memories of James Bond somewhere between Ian Fleming's literary vision and those created from the cinematic version. That book was rather thought provoking and delves deep into Fleming's literary world. "Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale" seems to evoke much more of Ian Fleming's feel and atmosphere for James Bond in a true artistic format. The photographs in themselves are admirable and this book is destined to age over time like a fine wine giving one the opportunity to return and savor the moment. Incidentally that is the photo of Bond on the cover that they use for the new gun barrel opening used in CASINO ROYALE. That is a nice touch. This is one of the best books to come out on the James Bond films.

Collector's Item, January 4, 2007
By T. L. Fentress (Bowling Green, KY United States)
This book has some amazing photos from the production of the movie. I believe it is a must-have for any fan of this recent movie and a fantastic piece for your collector's item library. I love the picture on the deskjacket and the same picture is on the book as well. Its worth the price for sure. I do wish there were a few more pictures of Daniel Craig though and not so many of other characters but it is in fact a book of photos from the filming of it so that should be expected. The pics are fantastic though and there are some nice questions/comments asked to Daniel Craig in the back that make it even more interesting.. Awesome book.

By Kimberley Wilson (VA USA)
Bond on Set was my Christmas present to myself and I was not disappointed. It's a terrific little memoir of the filiming of Casino Royale. Daniel Craig is extremely photogenic and the shots of him getting ready for his scenes or resting in between shots are great. I especially liked the photos of how scenes were actually done and the two page pictures of Bond's fleet footed adversary were stunning. That guy is in incredible shape. I am very happy witht this purchase
