Visually the exterior appearance is still exceptional despite the minorr bumps - else the grading would have been nearer to Near MINT.Particularly internally,contents are in an exceptional condition/state of preservation and presentation,for a book of its 6 year-old age and nature, i.e. an ephemeral p/back. It is only the minor fault described that prevents a slightly higher grading overall.Despite those it is still an exceptional,exemplary example for its cleanliness,brightness and lack of other detracting faults. To tie-in with the release of his first James Bond film, 'Live and Let Die',Roger Moore agreed to keep a day-by-day diary throughout the film's production,which would be published just ahead of the premiere in July 1973. From his unveiling as the new 007 in 1972 through to his first scenes on location in New Orleans and his final shot in New york,Moore describes his whirlwind journey as cinema's mostfamous secret agent.Taking in the sights of Jamaica before returning to Pinewood Studios,Moore's razor wit and unique brand of humour is ever present.With tales from every location,including his encounters with his co-stars and key crew members,Moore offers the reader an unusually candid,amusing and hugely insighful behind-the-scenes look into the world's most successful film franchise.
