AnotherJeni Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Hi fellow ZeppHeads. I have a question about this book and I hope someone with some solid knowledge can help. I found the Live Dreams photo book at a used bookstore. The dust cover has a large Z on front, not the colorful Jimmy artwork. When you remove the dust cover, the actual cover of the book has only 3 random silver dots. Nothing else. Is that a misprint? Otherwise the book is perfect. High quality print on top grade paper with several fold out photos. I hope someone can shed light on this mystery. Where else to ask if not here? Thanks!

TheGreatOne Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 There should be a hard plastic art decoration on the cover. Maybe it broke off and that is the glue areas to affix the plastic art ? There also should be a small 15 page color booklet with bunch of pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnotherJeni Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Of course you must be right. There could be no other explanation. I didn't realize the colorful Jimmy artwork was attached plastic. And not my lucky day as the 15 page booklet is also missing. Guess that explains the $10 price tag at the used book store. Thank you for your help! I knew I came to the right place. Your name suits you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like 50% Plant, 40% Page and 10% Jones/Bonzo. Wish it were more balanced with shots of all the lads. 😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be hard pressed to find books published in the 70s, 80s, & 90s that aren't 50/40/10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2551 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 There is a quite polished iPhone app for this book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean73 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I wanna say I picked up mine from QVC on tv back in the day.Also offered were some pretty cool Zep tie dyed shirts and a hockey jersey.As far as Live Dreams goes you just dont see books of the like made very often in todays market.Theres some cons with it but still a must have in my opinion.

Is there a difference in content between the edition with the color plastic decoration on the cover and the hardcover with a black dustcover with a big Z?

To the best of my recollection there is not, but I'd have to compare them side by side to know for certain. What I enjoy the most about Ratner's book, aside from the shots themselves which are phenomenal, is that it showcases several of the mid-Western dates on the tour as opposed to being crammed predominantly with LA & NYC shots.

The contents the same I believe.The copy with the big Z came without the slipcase and possibly without the extra thin booklet.Both copies retailed around 75.00 US originally.Steve made a good point with the photo presentation in this book.

Thanks , I went ahead a copped one on ebay for $49 which I think was a good buy. It's in excellent shape , slipcase and book are clean and it has the extra outtakes booklet which the later big Z cover book didn't have. I really like Ratner's photos. I have several prints which I shared here of the Chicago 73 shows and with Sam's help , the Ratner pics helped me identify my photos dates.
