There are currently a total of five books that compile the photographs of Linda McCartney. This is head and shoulders above the other books. It includes her *best* photos and the most interesting ones. This book omits any landscape photos or pictures of inanimate objects. Sorry, when you've been married to Paul McCartney and hung out with the Beatles for 15 months, photos of a pencil eraser shouldn't be cluttering up the precious space.

Linda was a truly talented artist with the camera. The way she lit her subjects and captured them candidly is really intriguing. I love her photos because I love Paul and the Beatles, and I suspect most people will buy the book because of that. But there are also some outstanding shots of Jagger, Brian Jones, Jim Morrison and some other 60's icons. Highly recommended.

A must have for all collector's and/or appreciators of beautiful photos... and, in particular, photos taken by a very much under-appreciated photographer. I think everyone thought Linda only started as a photographer when she met and married Paul McCartney (I must admit, I was one of them...), but I soon came to realize that she was well established on her own long before she married Paul.
This book, and all those published of Linda's photos show what an incredible eye she had. It is a must have for your collection.

what a woman! some unforgettable photos in here. my favorites are of grace slick, brian jones, and jackson brown.
