Rating:  Summary: Linda...... you've done such an amazing work...... Review: first of all, I just don't understand the people that didn't like Linda's book. As a beginner photographer, I can only hope I will ever be able to be as good as Linda was. Linda McCartney whom I loved so much and I still do.... thank you for inspiring me, I don't know what would I do without you. take care of John for me. I love you. Lihi.
Rating:  Summary: A charming piece of work Review: Here, Linda McCartney captures fascinating moments of a decade with photographs of people from Twiggy to Paul, her beloved.
Rating:  Summary: Great 60's Information Review: I bought the book to see the pictures of The Beatles and Loved all the imformation on the other great groups! It has many great pictures of The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Greatful Dead, and Janis Joplin, as well as every major musicican from the 60's. It is organized great, by the bands original location (ex. east coast, west coast etc.)
Rating:  Summary: Natural Light, Natural Rock, Natural Beauty Review: I first saw this book at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and was amazed at the photographs. Mrs. McCartney didn't seem to take posed pictures with bright lights in the musician's eyes. She used natural light and caught the musicians in their natural state. I love this book so much because of the honest quality to the photos. I'd definately recommend it!

Rating:  Summary: good Review: I liked this book mainly because of the subjects. I'm not that big on photography as an art form. (As Andy Warhol said, "Photographers feel guilty that all they do for a living is press a button.") But I like Jim Morrison, Beatles, Stones, and a lot of others in this book. So really enjoy it because of that.

Rating:  Summary: Superb photos, often revealing text Review: Linda McCartney was a good rock photographer--this should not be forgotten.Her book "Linda McCartney's Sixties" documents her abilities as well as the access she had to many critical 60s performers. Being an attractive woman with a camera was a bit of an anomaly back then, and Linda took full advantage of this. Approaching musicians with a combination of wide-eyed interest and complete understanding of the games involved in the business, she combined an artistic sense with insight into the characters of the scene. Her photos of Traffic are some of the best ever taken of the group; one can also say the same for her photos of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Janis Joplin. The text doesn't always tell as much as the reader would want to know. Linda McCartney was a fascinating figure who saw an awful lot of history, but doesn't always place herself fully in the stories she relates. This is too bad; it appears that her personality was a big part of the value and success of her work.
Rating:  Summary: linda's access and great photographs Review: seeing this book and understanding the access that linda had even before being paul's wife is pretty amzing. her photos are very intimate, especially of the beatles and her accompanying text to each photo are superb. a great photographic book.
Rating:  Summary: Average Review: This book was not as good as I had anticipated it would be. The photographs are average (with one notable exception) and the text is insipid. Linda McCartney's camera does, however, capture her husband Paul beautifully. The book is worth buying for those phtographs alone.
