Hardcore fans -- and they are legion -- will droll all over the pages of Jon Bream’s “Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin”

This is gorgeous coffee table book is a tremendous item for the rock 'n' roll aficionado on your gift list. Bream, one of the most esteemed music writers in the U.S., has gathered contributions from an A-list cast ranging from David Fricke to Robert Matheu, with a stunning array of more than 500 photos depicting the band from its first show in 1968 to its 2007 reunion.

Bream's work is about the music and the beauty of it And it's not just one person either, you've got a lot of different writers writing about the band. And it's not sycophantic, so you don't get a book that's painting them as saints and gods. It talks about their best and worst material, what they were like as people - their good and bad sides."

In this extensive collection of interviews, band memorabilia and     photographs, longtime Minneapolis Star Tribune music critic Bream assembles the ultimate guide to the infamous rock group Led Zeppelin. Veteran performers Joe Perry, Peter Frampton, Ray Davies and Steve Earle, among many others, contribute commentary about Zeppelin and its tremendous impact on popular music. The book is a treasure trove of information, featuring tour dates, copies of limited-edition concert posters, delightfully fluorescent foreign advertisements and a wide variety of photographs from live performances. This is the ideal resource for obsessive fans yearning to absorb every bit of minutiae related to Led Zeppelin.

So full of fan-boy ephemera is Bream's coffee-table book - there are images of Zeppelin T-shirts, buttons, and backstage passes - that I half-expected to find something for the bong, tucked perhaps in the lyric sheet for "No Quarter," Zeppelin's most Tolkien-esque tune. Alas, that's not included, but William S. Burroughs's highly entertaining 1975 interview with Page in Crawdaddy magazine is. All in all, Bream has done a great service for the legion of denim-clad rock fans who remember laughter - and Led Zeppelin.

Mark Shanahan, Boston Globe

Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin is a lavishly illustrated, wonderfully written and tightly edited history of the band, as witnessed through the eyes and ears of some of the great rock writers of the time. Its honesty is compelling. Even critics who hated everything Led Zeppelin represented found something in their music to marvel at and adore....All the legendary stories of tour excess and debauchery are here, given new life and authenticity because they're being told by the people who were there....The visual imagery is stunning. Concert posters, tickets, buttons and memorabilia add colour to the immediacy of the words. The tour date lists and discography are definitive....Interviews with the band members themselves plus the tributes of other rock star luminaries give this outstanding volume the authority lacking in all those inferior unauthorised knockoffs that abounded a few years ago.

Chris Chilton, Southland Times, New Zealand

This lavish book is a must-have for Zeppelin fans with its seemingly endless array of facts, photos and other period memorabilia reproduced in an engaging coffee table-sized tome. It's somewhat rare, too, in that these sorts of books often sacrifice looks for content, or the other way around, but that is not the case here.

I wasn't fortunate enough to be able to see Led Zeppelin live but this book brought me about as close as I could've hoped. It has Zeppelin covered from A to Z, whether you're looking for photos and memorabilia of the band, tour-by-tour or album-by-album coverage, or stories about how Page, Plant, Jones, and Bonham inspired an entire generation of writers and performers. Trust me, both the casual fan and the "sleep on the sidewalk for tickets" fan is going to love this book!

The book took my breath away. It is visually stunning, and the commentary is really entertaining/enlightening. I feel like I have been taken back to my lost youth. I am buying another copy just to have, and definitely buying my nephew a copy as well. He grew up listening to Led Zeppelin right along with me (I was 11 when he was born in 1968). This is a must have for all Led Zeppelin fans (past, present, and future) and THE Led Zeppelin curious. Just brilliant!

If you are a huge fan of Zeppelin like I am, you will absolutely LOVE this book. I simply could not put it down; in fact, I finished it already, and I have only had it for three days. It is well made (it weighs a TON), and will last forever.
