Notes From Your BooksellerBob Marley would've been 75 this year (2020) so, in his honor, Ziggy Marley and the whole family have opened the vault to share with the world stories and never-before-seen photographs of the greatest reggae star of all time. Nearly every photo in the book hasn't seen the light of day. It's a true treasure trove of beautiful candid shots capturing the iconic musician in his most private moments.
In honor of Bob Marley's seventy-fifth birthday, this glorious oversize book collects more than 150 photographs that celebrate the life and influence of the forefather of reggae and one of the greatest musical and sociopolitical icons of twentieth-century pop culture.
Drawing exclusively on photos in the Marley family archives, the book mixes the iconic and the intimate, bringing together striking images of Marley as a performer onstage with unseen glimpses into his creative process in and out of the studio and his family life in Jamaica. Making the most of its oversize pages, the book is designed as a monument to his influence.
Focusing on the last decade of his life—the period of his greatest worldwide fame—and with excerpts from unpublished interviews and prophetic quotes alongside the images, this is a definitive portrait of one of the great artists of the twentieth century made by those who knew him best.
