Yes I got a copy signed by Peter Lamont at the last Pinewood Bondstars bash, though I must confess I've not really looked it over as yet.

Marcus Hearn co-authored the book and he has a good track record of Hammer/Doctor Who books under his belt so should be good.

Got it for Christmas good read was not on all the films but a fair few.
I thought it was a good (still working my way through it) but some interesting insight into some of the films and what happens behind the scenes (even how sometimes due to scheduling they cannot do a film). I liked his statement at the end 'If you find a job you love, then you never have to work again'.

Cheers :007)

This was my Christmas gift to myself and I just finished reading it last week. Very informative while being a breezy read. Textwise, I would say it's a bit better than Syd Cain's and Derek Medding's books and reflects Peter Lamont's humble and down to earth character. Lots of nice photos too, most of which I believe have never been published previously. I have yet to read Cubby's, Christopher Wood's and John Glen's books and I'm glad that such Bond veterans went through the trouble to write them. I think of all these tell-all books, Lamont has the record of the most Bond films to his credit, 19 of them!
