Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones collaborated in 2018 with Reel Art Press to publish the first illustrated book celebrating 50 years since Led Zeppelin formed. Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin is the first and only official illustrated book ever to be produced in full collaboration with the members of the band.


For this book, Editor Dave Brolan asked to see additional photos from Bob Gruen's famous Starship Airplane session and had a digital artist combine the previous frame on the roll with the already well known shot to create a new image which includes the bands feet. Now available for the first time as high quality collectable prints.

James ★★★★★

The book captures that iconic 1973 Starship photo in a way I've never seen before, with incredible clarity and detail. Even the fold-out sections feel sturdy, making it perfect for display as well as reading.

Hazel ★★★★★

I had this photo in my head for years, but seeing the actual print from the book brought back that whole 1973 vibe perfectly. The paper has a nice weight that makes the black-and-white tones really pop, especially against the ship’s hull.

Miles ★★★★★

The grain of this print is so sharp you can see the rivets on the spaceship model, and the deep blues in the sky are stunning. It’s an intimate band shot with a sci-fi backdrop that feels both iconic and personal. This alternative version captures a mood I haven't seen in other photos from that era.
