While various No Time to Die tie-in books have been pushed back April, there are two new publications out this autumn which will certainly appeal to 007 petrol-heads.

Bond Cars: The Definitive History by journalist Jason Barlow will be published in hardback on October 29th.

This will be followed on November 17th by 50 Greatest James Bond Cars, another hardcover book by Ben Robinson. Robinson has been working with EON productions for over 15 years and has written extensively on film and television.

The official blurbs for the two books are below:

Bond Cars: The Definitive History is a lavish celebration of the cars that also became the stars alongside the world's most famous fictional spy.
 
Featuring exclusive and priceless assets such as the original call sheets, technical drawings and story-boards, accompanied by previously unpublished photography and exclusive interviews, we put you behind the wheel of every car driven by 007 on film.

With insights from the producers and keepers of the Bond flame, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli as well as Daniel Craig and special effects and action vehicles supervisor and veteran of 15 Bond films, Chris Corbould, this is the story of cinema's greatest icon, told through the prism of the legendary cars he has driven.
 
50 Greatest James Bond Cars includes the cars from No Time to Die starring Daniel Craig and Rami Malek.

The vehicles featured in this book were driven by - or pursued by - the world's most celebrated spy. Stylish, fast, and specially equipped with state-of-the art gadgets, each is rendered in full colour showing the key features that set them among the world's greatest cars.
With facts and figures plus their key scenes and stunts, these are the cars that made Bond movie history.
 
Both books are available now for pre-order from Amazon, and other booksellers.

A brand new book is released this month about Ian Fleming and the events in his life that inspired James Bond. Here is the publisher's blurb:

In Ian Fleming's Inspiration: The Truth Behind the Books ​author Edward Abel Smith goes through the plots of Fleming's novels explaining the real life experiences that inspired them.

​The reader is taken on a journey through Fleming's direct involvement in World War II intelligence and how this translated through his typewriter into James Bond's world, as well as the many other factors of Fleming's life which were also taken as inspiration. Most notably, the friends who Fleming kept, among whom were Noel Coward and Randolph Churchill and the influential people he would mingle with, British Prime Ministers and American Presidents.

Bond is known for his exotic travel, most notably to the island of Jamaica, where Fleming spent much of his life. The desk in his Caribbean house, Goldeneye, was also where his life experiences would be put onto paper in the guise of James Bond. As the island was highly influential for Fleming, it features heavily in this book, offering an element of escapism to the reader, with tales of a clear blue sea, Caribbean climate and island socialising. Ian Fleming might have died prematurely aged 53, but so much of him lives on to this day through the most famous spy in the world, James Bond.

Ian Fleming's Inspiration: The Truth Behind the Books is written by Edward Abel Smith and published in hardback by Pen & Sword History on May 30th. It can pre-ordered on Amazon with free delivery (UK only).

November 2020 looks set to be a busy month for fans of Bond books, with Steven Jay Rubin's seminal encyclopedia due to be re-published on the 10th.

Rubin's 400-page book has been completely updated and now covers the entire film series through to No Time to Die.

Packed with behind-the-scenes information based on interviews with the cast and filmmakers, fascinating facts, trivia, bloopers, classic quotes, character bios, and cast and filmmaker bios, it showcases the type of exhaustive research that has been a hallmark of Rubin's work in film history. It also features hundreds of rare and unusual still photographs of the participants both in front of and behind the camera. 

​It can be pre-ordered now on Amazon.

The official "making of" book for No Time To Die has been postponed to November 24 in line with the delayed cinematic release of the new film.
​
This lavish coffee table hardback takes readers behind the scenes of the 25th official James Bond film and reveals the locations, characters, gadgets, weapons, and cars of No Time To Die, with exclusive on-set photography, concept art, costume designs, stunt breakdowns, and more, accompanied by cast and crew interviews.

​The 192-page book has been written by Mark Salisbury and will be published by Titan Books. It can be pre-ordered now on Amazon with a price guarantee.

A stunning new James Bond coffee table book is published today by ACC art books.

Bond: Photographed by Terry O'Neill - The Definitive Collection features iconic portraits and contact sheets from Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, Live and Let Die, Goldeneye and more.

Terry O'Neill was given his first chance to photograph Sean Connery as James Bond in the film Goldfinger. From that moment, O'Neill's association with Bond was made: an enduring legacy that has carried through to the era of Daniel Craig.

It was O'Neill who captured gritty and roguish pictures of Connery on set, and it was O'Neill who framed the super-suave Roger Moore in Live and Let Die. His images of Honor Blackman as Pussy Galore are also important, celebrating the vital role of women in the James Bond world. But it is Terry O'Neill's casual, on-set photographs of a mischievous Connery walking around the casinos of Las Vegas or Roger Moore dancing on a bed with co-star Madeline Smith that show the other side of the world's most recognisable spy.

Terry O'Neill opens his archive to give readers - and viewers - the chance to enter the dazzling world of James Bond. Lavish colour and black and white images are complemented by insights from O'Neill, alongside a series of original essays on the world of James Bond  by BAFTA-longlisted film writer, James Clarke; and newly-conducted interviews with a number of actors featured in O'Neill's photographs.

A fascinating new book about the life of the ornithologist who lent his name to James Bond is published today.

When ​The Real James Bond published his landmark book, Birds of the West Indies, he had no idea it would set in motion events that would link him to the most iconic spy in the Western world and turn his life upside down.

Born into a wealthy family but cut off in his early twenties, James Bond took off to the West Indies in search of adventure. Armed with arsenic and a shotgun, he took months-long excursions to the Caribbean to collect material for his iconic book, navigating snake-infested swamps, sleeping in hammocks, and island-hopping on tramp steamers and primitive boats.

Packed with archival photos, many never before published, and interviews with Bond's family and colleagues, here is the real story of the pipe-smoking, ruthless ornithologist who introduced the world to the exotic birds of the West Indies.

The Real James Bond, by Jim Wright, is available now in various formats.
