The Rover Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 I saw this 200pp page book about Led Zeppelin featured at Barnes & Noble the other day. Oddly, the book was displayed at the front of the store, but the book was not stocked in the Music Section of the store. It's 200pp and it does have some Zeppelin related photos that I had not seen before. 30,000 words - 150 illustrations. The book also revealed the two times that John Bonham's nose was broken by their Road Manager, when Bonzo was way out of line... And, as you might expect, many of the picutres have been seen before, but perhaps not enlarged to 11x11 inches. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Led-Zeppelin-Revealed/Jason-Draper/e/9781435109131/?itm=2&USRI=led+zeppelin+revealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were actually looking for the Neil Preston book and couldn't find it and came across this one at B&N. I just finished the Whole Lotta LZ I got for Christmas so now I can dive into this one. It looks pretty good but then any LZ book would be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Led Zep Gurl Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I picked this book up after Christmas at Barnes and Noble for about $14 or so. Alot of the information in the book is stuff the Zep fan would know about but the pictures in the book are cool. I picked it up since I had never seen it and it was 1/2 price.

dazedjeffy Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've got this book too, found in the bargain bin at B&N. Nothing outstanding in it, picture or information-wise. It's a good coffee table book though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom kid Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 I've got this, got it for my birthday last year from the olds. It's pretty cool since it's so big, but there was nothing I had never seen in it. Got some awesome picture spreads though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ledzepfvr Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I decided to start this book this weekend for some leisure reading and loved Drapers opening paragraph creativly describing the band's music: "Hoary blues motifs were pumped up to enormous proportions, clubbed senseless by Bonham's colossal wallop, panicked to distraction by Page's crazed air-raid riffs, pummelled by Jones' slum-demolishing bass-lines, and strangled by Plant's lascivious shrieks of lust." and for good measure: "thick, churning streams of molten noise and melodic patterns of tortuous intricacy, vocals clawing up the octaves or crawling piteously, low and moaning." That discription settles into ones brain and creates a pleasant imagery to dwell on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedZepChick Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I have this book, as well...Picked it up rather cheaply at Barnes & Noble a couple years ago around Christmas. Haven't read all the way through it, but the photos are really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
