Led Zeppelin - The illustrated Biography - Gareth Thomas

[simonl]

ISBN 978-0-9558298-6-4

 

This book is for the Led zeppelin fan who loves the music but doesn't really know the history of the band. Cataloging the bands humble beginnings through the rise to mega stardom of the late 60's and through the 70's, the break up of the band in 1980 and the subquent solo careers of the band members and the one off reunion in 2007.

 

This book has good size photographs in black and white and colour backed up with a reasonable amount of text.

 

If you are a Led Zep expert already and are looking for snippets of information not already documented then this book will tell you little of what you already know, but the photographs alone are probably worth the purchase.

 

There is a Cronology / Discography at the end of the book which is good but the text size is tiny so get ya specks on.

 

I am a massive Led Zeppelin fan and have nearly all the bands albums this is the first book on the band i have had and will make exellent coffee table reading.
