Led Zeppelin: A Photographic Collection

Summary: A Seemingly Rushed Release
Review: For those who've been Zep fans for years, many (if not most) of the pictures contained in this book have been seen before now. That's part of why this book seems, to me, to be a rushed release just before the gift giving season. Another reason is that some of the better pix, such as one of the close-ups of Jimmy and Robert on Ceasar's Chariot looking together at something with Jimmy propping a J.D. bottle on his right knee while gesturing as Robert observes, Jimmy's face in the 2-page picture is split in half by the book's spine! I have to spread the book flat just to get a glimpse of both people in the picture, which is unfortunate because the picture's a classic. Yet another reason why this seems rushed is that some of the dates for pictures are wrong, like 2/12/75 in NYC being mistakenly labelled as 2/25/75 in NYC, and even Dave Lewis's text has errors in it. Not a 5 star book by any stretch, and not a 2 because of what's in it. A 3 because of the reasonable price, but definitely not a must have in my humble opinion.

Review: Mr Prestone does a great job here in compiling the magic moments of this legend band. The pictures are amazing and the quality is very good. If you are a Led Zeppelin fan - this book is for you,
