MI6 and Abram Books have teamed up to bring you a great competition to win copies of "Bond Girls are Forever" written by John Cork and ex-bond girl Maryam d'Abo.

Sexy, stunning, bold, and brazen, the women in James Bond movies are among the most interesting females in films.

Attacked by some feminists in the 1960s and 1970s as sex objects, the Bond women today are seen as self-confident, sexually assured role models.

Teeming with anecdote, first-person testimony, intelligent commentary, and a wealth of visual material, from film stills to memorabilia, "Bond Girls Are Forever" explores the mystery and mystique behind the Bond women-as heroes and villains, as actors and characters, as love objects and mother figures, as steely bureaucrats and trained killers.

The book is split into four distinctive sections each looking at different aspects of Bond girls each section in enriched with high quality photos throughout the decades of films.
