Now this is a cool book. Not only does it contain succinct accurate info accompanied by vivid color photos, each edition is done in three different languages. Although the Tashen website lists two editions, there has in fact been three editions printed. The first one (#1) is in English, French & German. The second is in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish and the third is in Japanese, English & French-and was printed in China . This book is part of the Taschen Music Icon series. They basically loaded up these smaller books (5.75″x7.75″) with approx. 150 great crisp photos along with concise text to tell the story. In addition to photos of Bob and The Wailers, pics of memorabilia and other goodies fill the book. A nice surprise at the end is Bob’s chart history from 1975 to 2005.
