007 MAGAZINE & ARCHIVE Limited – the world’s leading independent authority on the James Bond films, history, and memorabilia – has launched a premium hardback book series, presenting rare material from the 007 Magazine Archive in high-quality, collectible editions.

Curated and designed by Graham Rye, Editor/Art Director/Publisher of 007 Magazine for over four decades, each volume showcases meticulously restored imagery, production artwork, behind-the-scenes photography, and in-depth historical commentary drawn from one of the most significant private James Bond archives in the world.

For over four decades, the 007 Magazine & Archive has preserved the visual and documentary history of the James Bond films. These hardback editions represent the culmination of that work: definitive, meticulously curated volumes designed to safeguard rare photographs, production materials, and historical documents that would otherwise be lost to time.

Each book is produced print to order in durable hardback, ensuring that every collector receives a fresh, archival quality copy.

“Together, these volumes form the most comprehensive printed record of the James Bond films ever assembled,” we’re told – and they certainly look the part. “Each title is aimed at collectors, film historians, and Bond enthusiasts seeking authoritative, high-quality reference material unavailable anywhere else.

The series will continue throughout 2026 with further archive-driven volumes, including a major new title: The James Bond Girls: the 007 Magazine Archive Edition by Graham Rye, a comprehensive visual and historical celebration drawn from decades of original research and photography.

“These hardback editions are more than books,” says Graham, “they are permanent historical records of the James Bond films, created from the world’s largest independent Bond archive. Produced to archival standards and available exclusively through 007 MAGAZINE, each volume is a lasting tribute to the artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural impact of the 007 franchise.”

Founded and published by Graham Rye, 007 Magazine has been the definitive independent publication on the James Bond phenomenon for over four decades.
The 007 Magazine Archive contains thousands of rare photographs, documents,
and production materials spanning the entire history of the Bond films.

A monumental celebration of the 1964 classic — the most comprehensive Goldfinger volume ever produced. Also available as a portfolio steelbook 350-page Wiro Bound Numbered Limited Edition

Goldfinger is without doubt the most famous, iconic, and memorable of all the James Bond films, and on its release in 1964 set movie screens alight around the world with a heady cocktail of creativity that became an entertainment phenomenon; from its glittering opening credit titles designed by Robert Brownjohn, accompanied by Shirley Bassey belting out its brassy main title theme written by John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, and Anthony Newley, through to the corpse of an unfortunate young woman painted gold, a butler with a deadly steel-rimmed flying hat, an Aston Martin DB5 “with modifications”, a Bond Girl whose feline name caused much trepidation, death by laser beam, a larger than life villain with the Midas touch, and the golden gleaming cathedral-like interior of Fort Knox, as imagined by brilliant Production Designer Ken Adam. With myriad elements like these it’s hardly surprising the heady concoction that is Goldfinger impressed so many in 1964, and now, 60 years on, remains a popular evergreen entertainment for successive generations of film fans and Bond enthusiasts alike.
