EXCELLENT BOOK!

This book is great, because it is TRUE! It really IS in there own words! The book starts from the beginning of the forming of the band, even before Led Zeppelin, and continues past Robert, Jimmy & JPJ's solo work,up until the reunion of Page & Plants long waited for reunion tour, in 1995. There are also quotes in here from their late manager Peter Grant. But you get MORE than THAT! You get LOADS of pictures throughout the WHOLE book, pictures taken all through a 30 year time span. Many pictures I have never seen before, (and I though I've seen them all)! Also! Did you ever wonder what the song "Thats the Way" is about? I always did! To my surprise, Robert explains it in this book! (and I'm so relieved) Other songs too! and about ALL their albums & movie. This is a GREAT reference book! Great to show all your Zep Head friends, and discuss! I just have 2 questions I cannot find anywhere, and if anyone knows the answers please send me an I.M. on aol instant messenger! #1 What is Robert Plants Exact hight and approximate weight? #2 What size are his tight hip hugger jeans?! LOL! (I'm female, I saw him in 2nd row on the floor EXACTLY 1 year ago today, and he smiled at me 3x, I threw him a gift, he was flattered)! He was GREAT, even without Jimmy-he has a unique, mysterious, intriguing style & talent that is all his own. BUY THIS book, not the other books full of lies!

Worth while!

This book includes exciting insite into the band. Zeppelin gave so few interviews during their years together. "In Their Own Words" gives one the feeling of having the inside track on what the guys were really all about.

great book
