From Barnes & Noble

Jimmy Page's place in rock history is secure: As a member of the Yardbirds and the co-founder of Led Zeppelin, he's been inducted twice in the Rock Hall of Fame and his name pops up consistently as one of the three or four greatest guitarists of all time. In this spectacular, attractively produced, large-format pictorial, the man a reviewer called "rock's greatest and most mysterious guitar hero" riffs in words and photos about his eventful journey through music and life.
