New 007 Magazines (Page 3 of 4)

I received the Thunderball reprint with extra content yesterday - another superb job as usual 

I would definitely like to get my hands on The Most Famous Gun In The World magazine.  Is there any chance you’ll be re-printing that?  I missed it on the first go round, but I view it as something every Bond fan should have in their collection.

So, what sharp little eyes you've got...wait till you get to my teeth.

It's my pleasure.  I have long since been a fan of your work.  I remember TheSpyboys Ed telling me to get that particular special edition and that it was awesome.  Unfortunately, I dithered and lost out.  Thanks for the connect!  I made contact.

Received my copy of Th Most Famous Gun In The World.  It is simply fantastic!  Well worth the purchase price.  I never knew that the model 29 6 1/2 inch barrel (Dirty Harry gun) that Moore uses was not a factory nickel finish.  In fact, because it had been discontinued in that finish by Smith and Wesson, they took a blued gun and had it chrome plated!  Smith and Wesson still has the gun available for sale with the blued finish.  So, you could purchase this gun have it chrome plated and it would be a fairly accurate Bond gun.

Thank you two gentlemen for getting me this fantastic addition to my Bond archives!

Defiantly going to pre-order the Licence To Kill 30th anniversary issue, during a family visit to Key West a few years ago we drove past the church that Felix Leiter's wedding takes place at. Looking forward to reading all of the articles and interviews.

Not a new 007 Magazine but thought AJBers may like to see the man behind this brilliant publication 

https://www.facebook.com/007magazine/vi … 597395735/

The one we have all been waiting for has arrived with a nice shot of a Stembridge Gun Rentals Zella Mehlis Walther PPK in the titles sequence and images of Carey Lowell which will make you want to whack yer todger (if you have one?) with a hammer!

Sorry good AJBers, this edition is already sold out. Yes it really is that good!

Look what just popped through the letter box   
I had reservations about 007 Magazine’s Redux editions which I thought were just reissues of earlier editions however what Graham and Robert have produced are remastered editions of previously published magazines but with HD images and more importantly new images some of which have not been seen before 

I had the honour once of writing an issue of 007 Magazine which sold out. 007 Magazine started back in the 1980s as an A5 sized photocopy however it did not really explode onto the scene until 1983 just in time to cover Sean Connery’s return to the big screen as James Bond in  Never Say Never Again. Graham Rye is an authority on everything which is Ian Fleming. Graham writes with a passion. If he thinks something is crap he says so. To me receiving a copy of 007 Magazine is an event which needs to be read cover to cover. As a recommendation I would suggest The Goldfinger Portfolio which covered 5 special issues. It was and is fantastic. There were also special 50th Anniversary issues for Thunderball and You Only Live Twice. Looking forward expect a 50th Anniversary issue for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. The thing which has always amazed this Donkey over the years is the photo content where Graham has a gift for sourcing images which very few including EON have seen before!

Was hoping these would just be re-prints of issues I already had…should have known better with Rob being involved…looks like I’ll have to open the wallet again   

I have read quite a few issues of 007 magazine in my time and they have never left me feeling disappointed. Not only do I learn quite a bit of information that I did not know before, the pictures(many of which I have not seen before) are quite stunning. Looking forward to adding the fifth issue of the Goldfinger retrospective to my collection very soon. In the meantime, I am looking forward to reading the interview with Robert Davi in the Licence To Kill 30th anniversary issue.
