"Within the contents of this book, I wanted to include items from my personal archive that have played a part in my career over 60 years, to illustrate the detail behind the detail." - Jimmy Page

From his early days as a young session musician, through his years on the world stage with Led Zeppelin, to his solo work and collaborations, Jimmy Page has lived a spectacular life in music. Throughout it all, he has amassed an extensive private archive of iconic guitars, stage costumes and personal memorabilia.

Now, in The Anthology, Jimmy Page is granting exclusive access to his archive for the first time, and telling the inside story of his phenomenal career.

In a new text of over 70,000 words, Jimmy Page guides the reader through hundreds of rare items, many of which are previously unseen, and others of mythic status, such as the Gibson double neck guitar, his dragon-emblazoned suit, his white embroidered poppy suit, and the outfit worn in the concert film The Song Remains the Same.

Also included are handwritten diaries, correspondence, rare vinyl pressings, previously unpublished photographs and much, much more. Jimmy Page has personally selected each piece to be photographed in this book, which has been created with his full participation.

The result is Jimmy Page: The Anthology. Both reflective and revealing, it is quite simply the legendary musician's most comprehensive and fascinating account of his life to date.

Page has approached the book with the same fastidiousness as he applies to everything' – GQ  'It is a rare entryway into the mind of one of rock’s great men of mystery' – Rolling Stone 'An essential purchase' – Classic Rock 'The lavishly illustrated 400-page book begins with JPs early life and days as a session ace and comes up to date with the recent reissue of the 'Mirror' and 'Dragon' iterations of his Fender Telecaster.  It goes way beyond the average gearaholic's dream and is essential reading for any Zeppelin fan' – Guitarist 'Essentially everything you ever needed to know about Jimmy Page is exhaustively catalogued across page, after spectacularly illustrated page, of this supremely crafted high-end compendium. The Anthology is quite simply in a class of its own' – ShingDig! 'This mighty volume is an artistically triumphant companion to his musical achievements' – The Beat Magazine 'What he reveals in Jimmy Page:The Anthology are the secrets of his art, the inner working of Led Zeppelin… how he chose and modified the guitars with which he created the band’s definitive songs' – Total Guitar 'A truly momentous publication, of such rarely seen character and exhaustive research the likes of which probably indicate this will be the final word on the 6/12 string legend' – Gigslutz 'Jimmy Page: The Anthology is a magnificent book, beautifully designed with strong, arresting graphics. It's difficult to overstate the importance or the beauty of the illustrations throughout this narrative. This book both embodies and enriches our understanding of how Jimmy Page the artist came to be and illuminates why his music continues to matter to so many' – Shelf Awareness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
