Thinking Of You - The Ultimate Escapist Read
Jill Mansell, unlike other writers in the rom-com arena, seems to get better with every book she writes. Thinking of You is her latest offering and proves that it is possible to get better with age!

Ginny Holland, a best selling author if left rattling around in her house on her own after daughter Jem goes to university. Lonely, she advertises her spare room for rent. Instead of a happy roommate, she gets moaning Laurel who is still hung up on her ex-boyfriend. If that wasn’t enough, Ginny finds herself lusting after two men who can only be bad for her. Will Ginny get the man of her dreams, or will he be the one that gets away?

Mansell has a disarming ability to create characters that you already know and that tends to make her books impossible to put down. This book is no different. It is charmingly written, hopelessly funny and will make you forget all of your own troubles as soon as you read the first page.

The impact of the Bond films on popular culture is impossible to over-estimate. Dressed to Kill follows the sartorial transformations of the hero in a suit from the 1960s chic of the Nehru-collared jacket in Dr No to the classic Italian tailoring by Brioni in GoldenEye.

Carefully researched texts and copious illustrations trace Bond's influence, as a male style icon on many dimensions of popular culture, from action sports to advertising--as well as on the man in the street. Bond fans, movie buffs and fashion aficionados will all find new and illuminating material in this volume, which brings together a broad range of previously unpublished documents including film stills, advertising and candid images of the Cold War ambience of which Bond was a product.

Although many books have explored the fascinating history of the 007 films, this is the first to demonstrate what made the Bond character a modern myth, and the world's most famous secret agent. --Luke Engoode

Looks at the James Bond films and their impact on male fashion.

2000-03-17 Superb, top-shelf addition to your James Bond collection!

This is a gorgeous coffee-table book which views the diamond of the James Bond phenomenon through many visually stunning facets. While focusing primarily on the fashion styles worn by all 5 actors who have portrayed the sauve cinematic superspy, this lavishly illustrated book delves deeply into the entire socio-cultural context surrounding not just the Bond films but also the Ian Fleming novels. There is ample coverage of the many cinematic and televised heroes who have competed with or copied 007, plus some others who laid the groundwork for the Bond era. The highlight of the book is the large collection of excellent photographs, mostly in color, of James Bond movie stills, publicity poses, rare candids and familiar classic shots, poster art reproductions, and more. This superb book will certainly become a treasured addition to the collection of the serious James Bond collector, and will attract not just the eyes only of even the most casual of 007 fans.
