About this title

Review:

"I love this book, and not merely for the uniformly excellent and often unexpected photographs Ms. Buckland has chosen to illustrate this love letter to rock's finest photographers (and performers). I love it, too, for Ms. Buckland's witty, moving and sometimes acerbic prose. . . Whatever Gail Buckland writes, I want to read."

--Dwight Garner, The New York Times. Selected as one of the best gift books of the year

"Visually hypnotic...The care with which Buckland selects representative photographers and their most significant images is matched by her interpretive prowess."

--Publishers' Weekly

"A very appealing collection of photography. . . impressive."

--Booklist
