Led Zeppelin A Photographic Collection Book by Neal Preston. Led Zeppelin: A Photographic Collection Book by Neal Preston. 1st Edition: 2002, out of print. Author: Neal Preston. Softcover book. 192 page large photo history book of the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin.This is a huge soft cover volume, Dimensions: 12 1/2" x 9 1/2" x 1/2" thick. Neal Preston's collection of behind the scenes Led Zeppelin shots are some of the most revealing ever photographed. The more legendary a rock band becomes, the harder it is to peer through the myth. And the more unpredictable and off color their actions, the harder it is for an outsider to get inside and gain their confidence to photograph their real world. Preston and his "candid" camera were right t, on their private jets, at the after shows ; live recording sessions taking unique pictures during their 70's reign as the Lords of Misrule.This is a very sought after and out of print photo collection...

The Rolling Stones, ACCORDING TO THE ROLLING STONES. California: Chronicle Books, 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Large Hardcover Book. 12 X 9 X 1.6 inches; 360 pages. Printed signatures of all of them, great collectible Rock N Roll hardcover coffee table book. Title: According to the Rolling Stones Publisher: Music Sales Publication Date: 2003 Binding: Hardcover Synopsis: Here's the inside story: the history of the Rolling Stones - according to the Rolling Stones. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood have come together for this remarkable project. They've also opened up their personal and band archives to include many rare and intimate images that are interwoven with the text. The book gets right to the heart of what makes the Stones the Stones, as musicians, songwriters, performers, and colleagues. They describe how their music has evolved and how it has affected and changed their lives. They also reveal, with refreshing frankness, how their own lives have helped, or hindered, their music-making. The Stones' own words - insightful, funny, poignant, surprising, and above all, completely authentic - are complemented by insider reflections from key players in their story over the years such as Ahmet Ertegun, David Bailey, and Cameron Crowe. A comprehensive reference section including discography, and chronology, studded with the Stones' personal comments on the music and memories, completes this must-read volume. Here, in their own words and images, is the life and work of a band which has played the soundtrack of our lives for the last forty years. According to the Rolling Stones hews closely to the formula set in 2000 by the publication of The Beatles Anthology. Like its predecessor, it's a beautiful coffee table tome with hundreds of gorgeous photographs, from childhood pics of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards to concert shots from the 40 Licks Tour. The text is taken from recent interviews with the band's four latter-day members (Mick, Keith, Charlie Watts, and Ronnie Wood). Notably missing, however, is any contribution from former bassist Bill Wyman, who left the band in the early '90s and published his own history of the band in 2002, Rolling with the Stones. Where Wyman is an obsessive collector and diarist, the other Stones are more impressionistic in their memories, lending an approach to history as casual as the band’s concerts are rigorously planned and staged. The first half of the Stones story has plenty of high drama (tours through the segregated South, Brian Jones's death, Altamont), which no one seems eager to reflect on deeply. (Charlie is the only one even to mention Altamont.) The more recent years has seen a long string of ever-more-successful tours and ever-less-popular albums, interrupted only by Mick and Keith’s near divorce in the '80s, plus rehab stints for Charlie and Ronnie. While The Beatles Anthology offered the surviving members' interpretations of their experiences at a distance of 30 or more years, the Stones are still living the tale they're trying to tell--and they aren’t always the most self-aware narrators. Or generous: Wyman's three-decade tenure is given short shrift, but the book finds enough space for some unnecessary digs (Wyman has "tiny hands," we're told, and an "almost effeminate" style of playing). To flesh out the band members' own recollections, the book also contains 13 essays from music-industry friends (Ahmet Ertegun, Marshall Chess), collaborators (Don Was), famous fans (Sheryl Crow...

Yves Thomas, Vagues et Tempetes (Waves and Storms), French-English book by Yves Thomas, 2011. Yves Thomas is a recognized listed French artist born in Normandy, France, in 1937. The most beautiful works of Yves Thomas have something musical, sonata, and symphony mingle in the light of the painting. The black rocks declined in purple-gray, are like the shadows of a mysterious world whose surprising beauty we can observe. In these "visionary" paintings, everything evokes the passage of time, from the wear and tear of stones to stranded ships. And yet, the light of the artwork escapes this erosion so much it is alive and plays with its timelessness. Islands, reefs, and rocks do not belong to any identifiable country. Only light gives life and meaning to these landscapes taken from the soul. This light merges with time which gives birth to these spaces. This time-light stands at the heart of emotion itself. This spiritual time haunts us with its intrinsic presence and escapes the intellect to exist better. It offers the spectator the possibility of becoming clairvoyant in turn. The art of Yves Thomas is an invitation to an inner journey but also the authentic testimony of an artist working beyond fashions and having been able to remain faithful to his dreams. He allowed the light of his paintings to flourish. Through the miracle of creation, Yves Thomas bears witness to the light of our dreams. (credit: Artthomparis) About the Artist: At the age of 14, Yves Thomas copied a large painting by Antoine Jean Gros, named "The plague-stricken of Jaffa," in the Louvre Museum Yves Thomas readily admits that "the result was not completely satisfactory" but, coming out of adolescence, he mastered drawing. At 17, Yves Thomas joined the French Navy for five years. One can imagine the artist scrutinizing the ocean waves and attempting to capture their moving forms in his sketchbooks. During this period, he discovered and practiced "The Camera Lucida" technique assiduously. An increasingly rigorous design naturally leads to his "Ingres" period. Open to different trends and curious by nature, Yves Thomas began, a few years after, abstract paintings and then returned to a hyperrealistic drawing...
