Experimentation and contemplation in 'Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin'

If you’re a Led Zeppelin fan, this book is huge deal. If you’re not a fan, this book will likely convert you. A Staff Favorite Holiday Gift Book for 2018, this 400-page visual history from Reel Art Press is the first of its kind—constructed by the three surviving members of the band via their own private collections and many deep dives into the previously undisturbed archives of their label, Atlantic Records. Whether you’re a proper Zephead, a music historian or simply a lover of rock photography, this well edited, linen-bound volume brings you astonishingly close to one of the greatest bands of all time. Featured photograph, by Carl Dunn, captures lead singer Robert Plant in a moment of contemplation at the Cabana Motor Hotel pool in Dallas, Texas, in August of 1970.
