Ken Adam Designs the Movies: James Bond and Beyond

In chronological order the book takes us from design sketches for his earliest films, including Around the World in Eighty Days, through his Oscar-winning work with Stanley Kubrick, to production designs for what are probably his most celebrated films - seven James Bond movies, which include Dr. No, Goldfinger, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker. Also included are production drawings for classics such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Sleuth and The Last Emperor.

Complete with concept sketches, technical drawings, floorplans and set stills, the book reveals the whole cycle from initial idea to finished construction. Adam's virtuoso designs for films, operas and other projects are accompanied by illuminating commentary from the eminent cultural historian Christopher Frayling, together presenting an unrivalled archive of visionary and inspiring production design.
