Customer Reviews

The Ultimate Connery
This book is the long awaited reissue (with extensive updating) of the ultimate, intimate Sean Connery biography which was the first and remains by far the best comprehensive study of this accomplished actor. Many Connery/Bond books draw heavily on Callan's work, which was the main credited source on Connery referred to by 007 producer Cubby Broccoli himself in his autobiography, published by Boxtree. Look no further for the true lowdown on the Great Scot himself.
