• A new cover drawn by illustrator Mel Tow and designed by Cory Schmitz.
• Pages of drawings, photos, and design docs that take you behind the scenes from the development of GoldenEye 007.
• An additional chapter, "The Shots Heard Round the World," that goes deep into the story of how Graeme Norgate and Grant Kirkhope created GoldenEye's iconic soundtrack, and how Norgate and Martin Hollis tweaked the game's sound effects to make them shine.

"Absolutely the best book I've read about a videogame -- or a film -- and I'm not just saying that because it's, you know, GoldenEye. It's warm, personable, and surprisingly filled with minor dramatic incidents. Considering that a videogame is essentially a long process where a number of people sit down at computers for a long time, that is impressive." - Martin Hollis, Director of GoldenEye 007

"GoldenEye 007 (the book) is a thrill to read, just like GoldenEye 007 (the game) is to play." - Max Frequency

"The writing is excellent [...] clear-eyed and yet profoundly informative about a halcyon era in video games. The wealth of information, anecdotes, and analysis is delightful." - The-Pixels
