Chris Welch has produced a book that is good that can be expected on Led Zeppelin, or any rock band for that matter.
This book covers the music, song by song on every album that the band produced.
There was incredible access to the band members and you really get a feel and the inside story on each cut from this great band.
Sadly, the book really takes a down turn when John Bonham dies and we revisit the sadness that caused.
This is probably going to be on my "10 Best Books Read in 2021" list.

Classic Tracks: Led Zeppelin is a fascinating book that reveals the origins of each album and song created by this talented and multi-faceted band. Chris Welch's research is exceptional, and his writing style is conversational and engaging--he is an excellent storyteller. I read this book slowly so I could savour the experience. I am glad I did.

Sloppily edited, and brief where it should be better detailed.
