About This Item
East Sussex: S. B. Publications, 1999. Signed limited first edition of Hernu's pictorial biography of the quintessential gadget master to the world's best loved Secret Agent, James Bond. Octavo, original boards, illustrated with photographs. Signed by Desmond Llewelyn and Sandy Hernu on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Welsh actor Desmond Llewelyn was best known for his role as Q in 17 of the James Bond films between 1963 and 1999. Llewelyn was chosen for the role of Q because of his work with director Terence Young in the 1950 war film They Were Not Divided, in which he played a tank gunner. Beginning with From Russia with Love in 1963, Llewelyn appeared as Q, the quartermaster of the MI6 gadget Lab (also known as Q Branch), in every EON Bond film until his death, with the exception of Live and Let Die in 1973, in which the character Q did not appear. Llewelyn was the only actor in the original Bond series to have worked alongside five of the actors who played the spy, who were Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan.
