I cannot speak highly enough of this publication. A lavishly produced, superbly presented and packaged 335 page book, divided into 23 chapters each of which features a different photographer's work. The pictures themselves, both colour and black/white, are of a consistenty high quality. Covering the entire span of the band's existence, the rare and often-candid images effectively capture the group on and off stage. In particular, several detailed shots of Zeppelin in front of massive stadium audiences are simply stunning - a true reflection of their immense popularity. Thank you Ross Halfin, and good luck to anyone else lucky enough to obtain a copy!

This has got to be the greatest Led Zeppelin book I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. The photographs are amazing and greatly represent both the band's emense stage presence and a peek into their private lives. An absolute must have for any hardcore Led Zeppelin fan!

When i got this book and first looked at it tears came to my eyes. It is definitly, as Jimmy Page says, "the Best most representitive photo book of Led Zeppelin that i have ever seen" It is well made and definitly worth the money. It is what Jimmy Page wanted Led Zeppelin to show: POWER, MYSTERY, AND THE HAMMER OF THE GODS

Hi! I won a copy of the Photographer's Led Zeppelin- I entered the contest originally, because I'm a fan of Ross Halfin. I was pleased to win it, because coming from Ireland, I can't get any of his books. It was the best representation of Zeppelin I've ever seen! Thanks to Ross Halfin, I've discovered photographers I never knew existed! The photos displayed have been an inspiration to my own work-I'm working in music- and it looks good. Thanks, Kerrang! for giving me this book!

Mr. Halfin has assembled an incredible array of photos documenting the band's career. Besides the obvious on-stage pics, there is a wide collection of off-stage, behind-the-scenes photos that round out the collection. More than 350 duotone and hand-tinted photos grace the pages of this book.

The book looks great even before you open it; the cover and slipcase box are covered in a black saifu cloth with the title embossed in metallic silver.

The book features an opening quote by Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. He declared the book the finest collection of Led Zeppelin photographs to be compiled and published in a single volume; his signature is reproduced under his statement.

A must-have for any Zeppelin fan.

AWESOME!!! This book is fabulous, as long as you like pictures of Zeppelin without alot of words to detract from their overwhelming presence! I can't say enough about this book; I simply adore it. I'm sure it has some more signifigance than just eye candy, but that's enough for me, as it probably would be for ANY major Zep head.

Just found this book in Argentina record store"Musimundo"... Worth everycentavo. The pic's from behind the various concert stages looking out into audience brings chills to my spine! A must have for every Zoso fan!

I was lucky enough to stumble across a copy of this in a new and second hand music store on the Gold Coast some years ago. It was in 'as new' condition and I picked it up for a song. By chance, I met the guy who had parted with it just a couple of weeks later. I had to thank him for selling the book and now I sort of feel sorry for him for getting rid of what I beleive is the most unbeleivable music book around. Each and every photo represents a specific moment in the life of a band that never seem to age. The photos, like their music, look as though they were taken yesterday. Absolutely timeless! Thanks Ross Halfin.

This book is phenominal...brilliant...breathtaking. Sections are arranged by photographer - each exhibiting his or her own unique style and lending their contribution to a very multilateral and (according to Jimmy Page) accurate depiction of Led Zeppelin's career.
