Led
Zeppelin introduced their aggressive, blues-based, guitar-laden rock sound
to a ready-and-willing audience in 1968. During the 1970s Led Zeppelin
revolutionized the overall sound and presentation of rock-and-roll music, thus
laying the blueprint for what is now known as heavy metal rock music.

“I
have been collecting Led Zeppelin memorabilia for about 18 years now and I can
honestly say that this is the absolute best book I have ever read on the
group!…I can't thank you and the writers enough for finally fulfilling my
desire to see the places which Led Zeppelin grew up in, lived in, and made
famous!!”
Frank Smith

“I knew I would
discover facts and stories about the band, but I wasn't prepared to learn so
many facts and stories about my own country, and from a couple of Colonials! I
dip into the pages at random and find myself transported to a boathouse in
Berkshire, a castle in Wales, caves in Kent-and offered fascinating insights
into parts of my own nation's history. Follow some of the routes in this book
and you will see far more of the real Britain than by taking in the usual
tourist traps.
“Come back,
Shannon and Karol-we need your perceptive eyes to tell us more of the things we
miss by being too close to them! And while you're at it, we'll learn more about
our Rock Legends, too!”

“I am quite impressed and
pleased...I love the layout and there's some of the coolest Led Zeppelin
pictures I've ever seen. What I like best about this book [is that] it's a
whole new perspective. I think many Led Zep books are just rehashes of an older
book. Most Zep fans know all that stuff by now. This [book] looks exciting,
unique. We'll never meet Plant, Page, Jones or Bonham, but now we can get
closer to the group that was a part of our lives.”

“It was
fascinating…[I] look forward to the next one.”

“Wow,
congratulations on a great read-it's everything and much more than I ever hoped
it would be. I haven't been able to put it down. Went to visit John's [Bonham]
memorial stone…what a mixture of feelings that evoked! Every success, well
deserved.”

“...The
numerous photos bring the reader directly into the lifestyle that Led Zeppelin
experienced individually and as a group success…an accessible journey for
anyone to easily follow. I am greatly pleased to have it in my library and
highly recommend taking the time to read this detailed account that is filled
with additional enumerations and knowledge that will allure you every step of
the way.”

“Just to let you know that the book was received yesterday
and both Judith and I are very impressed...the content looks to be very
comprehensive [and] we will be using your book to look up other places of
interest that we have yet to visit. Keep up the good work.”
Roly and Judith

“What a fantastic book. Looking forward to the second
installment. Please keep up the excellent job.”

“...a
really good, enjoyable read. I think it is a thoroughly well written and
carefully researched book and the authors' enthusiasm for the subject shines
through. Having read several Led Zepp tomes, some of the material is of course
quite familiar. However, there are some really fascinating new bits and pieces
that bring fresh interest. I thought at first that the geographical and
historical details might not sit too well with the subject of Led
Zeppelin--however I was wrong. Once I got into it, this aspect brought the
whole thing to life.”
