SynopsisJimmy Page by Jimmy Page is the photographic autobiography and visual history of the world's most iconic guitar player. With incredible attention to detail, Page has chosen hundreds of photographs representing significant moments in his career: from a schoolboy with a rock-a-billy quiff through his extensive work as a session musician; including The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin, ARMS, The Firm, Outrider, Coverdale & Page and Page & Plant; playing with Roy Harper and The Black Crowes; collaborating with P. Diddy and performing with Leona Lewis at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Both Genesis Publications and Jimmy Page have sifted through thousands of images representing the work of more than 70 photographers including some of the greatest names in rock photography - Ross Halfin, Kate Simon, and Gered Mankowitz, to name but a few. Included are a mixture of iconic portraits, rare and unseen photographs from Jimmy's archive along with visas, photos and stamps from his own passports. Page has officially put pen to paper about his career taking the form of extended captions, which describe and document pivotal moments and events making this book an historical document and a definitive visual record of a remarkable life of music., Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page is the photographic autobiography and visual history of the world's most iconic guitar player. With incredible attention to detail, Page has chosen photographs representing the most significant moments in his career so far. Jimmy Page by Jimmy Page collects together hundreds of photographs to present the complete visual narrative of a remarkable career in music. It includes a mixture of iconic portraits, rare and unseen images and photographs from Jimmy's own archive. With incredible attention to detail, Jimmy Page has chosen photographs representing the most significant moments in his career: from a schoolboy with a rock-a-billy quiff through his extensive work as a session musician; from The Yardbirds through Led Zeppelin, ARMS, The Firm, Outrider, Coverdale & Page and Page & Plant; playing with Roy Harper and The Black Crowes; collaborating with P. Diddy and performing with Leona Lewis at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Track by track, Jimmy Page has been remastering the entire Led Zepplin catalog of nine studio albums and combing through the group's archives looking for alternative versions that can illuminate how the band created songs that came to define 1970s rock and influence generations of musicians since. The first three records were released by Rhino Records on June 3, 2014, with the rest to follow this year and next, in formats ranging from vinyl to digital. "I thought it would be quite interesting to do a photographic autobiography. It's the story of a kid who's involved with music, but really the music involved itself with him. It's this conjoining of music and a teenager, and off it goes." - Jimmy Page Jimmy Page interviewed by The New York Times.

    Great pictures is it

    It's suppose to be a photo biography and that is it. It has great back stage photos and a list of all his shows, but very little background or history. Maybe a 20 word description at most. There are few off stage photos and no written information. Keith Richards bio is much more interesting and informational. Jimmy kept his secrets hidden. This is not a book to find the 'dirty details' of groupies, sex, drugs or rock-n-roll. It chronicles Jimmy's look and who he played with and when. There is no inside information on guitar playing chords, amp set-ups, guitar preferences, interaction with Plant, Jones or Bonham etc. It's a coffee table size photo history of his looks and where he performed. He's still my favorite guitarist of all time even though this book gives little insight into his thoughts.

    Led Zeppelin and / or Jimmy Page fans would like photo book.
