moore's book about the filming of "live and let die", based on his diaries, titled "roger moore as james bond: roger moore's own account of filming live and let die", was published in london in 1973, by pan books. the book includes an acknowledgment to sean connery, with whom moore was friends for many years: "i would also like to thank sean connery – "with" whom it would not have been possible."

connery's interpretation of the character differed considerably from fleming's, being more promiscuous and cold-blooded than the literary version. connery described bond as "a complete sensualist—senses highly tuned, awake to everything, quite amoral. i particularly like him because he thrives on conflict". academic james chapman observed that for "dr. no", connery's interpretation of the character, although not complete, showed the actor "should be credited with having established a new style of performance: a british screen hero in the manner of an american leading man". in his second film, "from russia with love", connery looked less nervous and edgy; he gave "a relaxed, wry performance of subtle wit and style". pfeiffer and worrall noted that connery "personified james bond with such perfection that even ian fleming ... admitted that it was difficult imagining anyone else in the part"; academic jeremy black agreed and declared that "connery made the role his own and created the bond audience for the cinema". black also observed that connery gave the character a "spare, pared-down character ... [with] inner bleakness along with the style". connery played bond with "the right mix of cool charisma, violence and arrogance ... against which all others are judged". raymond benson perceived that connery "embodies a ruggedness and an intense screen presence this transcends any preconceived notions about the character". benson also noted that bond was witty, but contains "an assured toughness that epitomises the machismo male". roger moore agreed with black and benson, commenting that "sean "was" bond. he created bond. he embodied bond and because of sean, bond became an instantly recognisable character the world over—he was rough, tough, mean and witty ... he was a bloody good 007". however, despite his charm and virility, connery was characteristically laconic in his delivery. christopher bray says of him that "in his single-minded, laconic, mocking, self-sufficient vanity, connery's bond was the epitome of sixties consumer culture".
