PlanetPage Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) ...ZA, I read those books that you stated among others, Best Zeppelin Book IMHO is by the Late Author Keith Shadwick: - Zeppelin, Band/Their Music '69-'80 - very exceptional details and insight, without doubt Keith is Missed. I do have many photographic books, but the one I am waiting for now is from Page Himself, my Collector Edition It is my opinion that the Copy Page Reserved for himself, #666 likely will be mass produced one day - this will also afford Page the chance to make any corrections/additions which are missed in the Official Auto-Bio currently. IMHO, no other book past or present from anyone, including Page is a"compromise" for the Official Auto-Bio of Page, as Founder of Led Zeppelin - therefore, it must be correct; .....I hope that it is mass produced one day at affordable cost, so many young people can experience the vision of this Legendary Musician, Money is no object to me in this regard.........

MightyLedZeppelin Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just finished re-reading Cole's book "Stairway To Heaven". It was entertaining but I did begin to tire of all the stories of he and Bonham getting drunk and destroying yet another hotel room. Also some of the errors in the book were annoying IE: playing Battle of Evermore live in 1972, or Keith Moon playing on drums the FINAL night of the 6 LA Forum shows in 1977. I want to read more about the band interacting with each other in and outside the studio. More about the music and their relationship with the fans than about who drank the most or how many girls they had on the Starship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Mick Wall wrote an interesting book, I don't agree with it, but thought it was a fun read and it was an addictive read as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
