OO7: Double - O - Seven Magazine

I’m a huge James Bond fan. Specifically, I’m a huge Sean Connery as James Bond fan. To me Sean is James Bond. His wit, sense of style, rugged manliness and charisma personifies Ian Fleming’s superspy.


To be sure other actors have done stellar jobs playing James Bond, but Sean created the Silver Screen 007 and must be given credit for making the film series such a huge success. Of all the actors that have played James Bond, Sean Connery will always be identified with the roll he pioneered.


That’s why I was so excited when I received 007: Double - O - Seven Magazine’s Archive Files Sean Connery As James Bond File #1.


On the cover is a photo of Sean as Bond clutching a pistol in one hand and a drink in the other. Can you guess what kind of gun and drink? His sly smile and the twinkle in his eyes personify Bond. On the back cover is Sean dressed as Commander Bond.


Inside the magazine is filled with photos of Sean as James Bond taken from all of his six ‘official’ James Bond films and his one “unofficial” Bond Film: Never Say Never Again. Photos include production stills, candid shots and behind-the-scenes images. Included are movie posters and interesting text info tidbits. It’s a stunning magazine worthy to be part of any James Bond collection.


For Bond Lovers Only comes the official 007: Double - O – Magazine Issue #53. In each issue the magazine highlights news, reviews and interviews all centered around James Bond, his world, woman, gadgets, films, books and memorabilia.


In this issue the magazine staff looks at the 100th birthday of Bond’s creator Ian Fleming, a James Bond/Ian Fleming exhibition including photos, memorabilia and more, the sale of the most famous car in the world: James Bond’s Aston Martin (look for a cool two-page spread of the car with gadgets displayed), vintage ads, the new 007 Bloodstone video game and finally a look at Roger Moore’s best Bond film: For Your Eyes Only.


This is Bond at his best as seen in this issue packed with lots of photos, art and interesting copy that delves into the world of James Bond. Pick up a copy today!
