The Manuscript
Jimmy Page has officially put pen to paper about his career in this expansive edition. His words take the form of extended captions, which describe and document pivotal moments and events. He has also included visas, photos and stamps from his own passports.
Jimmy's own words, combined with his hand-picked photographic selection make this book an historical document and a definitive visual record of a remarkable life of music.
‘I thought it would be quite interesting to do a photographic autobiography. It?s the story of a kid who?s involved with music, but really the music involved itself with him. It?s this conjoining of music and a teenager, and off it goes.? JIMMY PAGE« less
