Jimmy Page, the guitarist of the legendary British group Led Zeppelin, published a new book that will surely be appreciated by his most staunch followers: with almost 3 kilos and close to 650 photographs, «Jimmy Page"Is weighted appropriately for the man who popularized the guitar riff in heavy rock. It is also quite expensive, priced at £ 40 in Britain and $ 60 in the United States.

But fans are fans, and when a considerably more expensive limited edition was released a few years ago, it quickly sold out. In an interview with Reuters, it was clear that Page is proud of the new book, which begins with a photo of him singing as a child in a choir and ends with a more current image, playing his favorite guitar. "It's a horrible term, but it's a journey," said Page, 70.

«You see the changes in fashion, the changes in guitars, in attitude. You see this man growing and gaining years as he goes on this journey, "added Page, speaking of himself in the third person.

The book is far from being your typical autobiography. There are few words in the play, and the ones that are are used primarily to link hundreds of photos that follow Page's life from a young man who played in The Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin to his solo career, his performance on a typical English bus in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and its 2012 Kennedy Center award for culture.

«Shows a career in music. When I look at autobiographies or biographies of musicians, I always look to see which photos they chose, ”Page said.
The book features pictures of all his famous performances, including Wembley in 1971, Knebworth in 1979, and the 2007 reunion.
