From Aston Martins fitted with ejector seats and water cannons to a Lotus Esprit reborn as a submarine to a Venetian gondola improbably reimagined as a hovercraft, the vehicles of the James Bond cinematic franchise are as iconic as the spy himself.

Chris Corbould OBE is an Academy Award–winning special-effects supervisor and second-unit director—and one of the James Bond franchise’s longest-serving collaborators, with credits on fifteen Bond films, from The Spy Who Loved Me to No Time To Die. London-born, he entered special effects in 1974 on Tommy, mastering hydraulics, engineering, fabrication, and pyrotechnics before moving into senior on-set roles on Superman (I, II, and III), Supergirl, and early Bond titles such as Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, and A View To A Kill. His first supervising break came on Nightbreed, leading to global work on Shadowlands, GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The Mummy, and The World Is Not Enough. Subsequent supervising credits include 102 Dalmatians, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (I and II), Die Another Day, Batman Begins, Casino Royale, Quantum Of Solace, The Dark Knight, Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He and his team earned a Guinness World Records certificate for Spectre’s “largest film stunt explosion.”


Corbould has also directed second-unit action on Skyfall, Christopher Robin, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, and The Rhythm Section. His honors include eleven BAFTA nominations (wins for Inception and The Force Awakens) and six Academy Award nominations, winning the Oscar for Inception. In the 2014 New Year’s Honours, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty The Queen for services to film.


Beyond film sets, Corbould is a director of Auto Action Developments, specializing in bespoke vehicle construction; the company recently collaborated on Michael Mann’s Ferrari, building period race cars for the film’s signature sequences. He is developing his writing and directing debut, having optioned the nonfiction book The Cloud Garden, about two British backpackers kidnapped by Colombian rebels; Corbould is also attached to direct several other original projects.

This French concept embodies the art of knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. At Assouline, savoir-faire defines every creation: from the artistry of our covers to the meticulous detailing of our Ultimate Collection and the precision of every page. Each title is a journey of craftsmanship, from concept to creation, guided by our creative team and brought to life with the highest standards of design, photography, and production. Every book reflects the dedication, care, and expertise that turn an idea into a lasting work of art.

  • Handle with Clean, Dry Hands: Always use clean, dry hands when handling your book to avoid transferring oils or dirt onto the pages and cover. 
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading or discoloration of the cover and pages. 
  • Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Humidity and moisture can damage both the paper and binding. Store books upright on a flat surface, away from heat sources. 
  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft, dry cloth or feather duster to gently remove dust from the cover and page edges. 
  • Use Caution When Opening: Do not force the spine flat, especially on new books, as this may damage the binding. 
  • Keep Away from Liquids and Food: Avoid placing books near food or beverages to prevent spills and stains.
