From ejector-seat Aston Martins to a Lotus Esprit that turns submarine, Assouline's James Bond Cars digs through 007's machines of land, sea, and air. It's a book that keeps the machinery centre stage, down to the contraptions built for a single scene. You get a hardcover with the heft of a coffee table volume.
