James Bond autographs, all original

Autographs are sought after signatures from presidents, military figures, sports stars, popular culture, artists, social and religious leaders, scientists, astronauts and authors, scrawled onto a multitude of objects, including rugby balls, t-shirts, memorabilia or just a simple scrap of paper. The stars of the James Bond series, including Sean Connery, Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and the most recent addition (some say the best addition), Daniel Craig, often sign objects from the movies in which they starred, pieces of paper or simply a t-shirt, which then become collectible autographs, which is simply the stars signature.

DVD and Blu-ray movies

From Dr. No to Quantum of Solace, the Bond DVD's and Blu-rays provide us with the excitement and adrenaline rush that only the 007 films can provide us, all in the comfort of our own home. Digital Versatile Disc, more commonly called DVD is an older technology which provides us with James in Standard Definition, while the newer Blu-ray technology (in conjunction with a Blu-ray player such as the Playstation 3 and a high definition TV) provides us with the enthralling action of the secret agent in never before seen definition, so none of the action is lost. The sound (in conjunction with a digital sound system) brings the excitement of the cinema into our homes, giving us Bond the way it was meant to be heard. With all the Bond films available on DVD and six of the classics (Dr No, Die Another Day, Live And Let Die, For Your Eyes Only, From Russia With Love and Thunderball) as well as Casino Royale available on Blu-ray, there is no reason not to bring the magnificance of Bond into your own home [read more...]

Immerse yourself in the world of 007

2003 was the 50th anniversary of the publication of Casino Royale, the first James Bond adventure. The price of first edition Ian Fleming books has increased over the last few years due to collectors snapping them up and unfortunately puts them beyond the price range of most people. However, the James Bond adventures have been republished many times over the years and can be bought cheaply from a number of sources. Ian Fleming, the original author of the Bond books, wrote 13 007 novels, starting with Casino Royale and ending with Octopussy and the Living Daylights and all first editions are highly desirable and quite elusive, much like 007 himself [read more...]
