Moonage Daydream: The Life & Times of Ziggy Stardust

What a brilliant book, well worth the money if a Bowie fan, and great being hardback. Love this book.

Fabulous photo history of Bowie's 70's Ziggy period. Mick Rock was the top rock photographer of this period and you can see why in this book. He captures Bowie in full pose and candidly. Huge number of previously unseen (by me anyway) pictures, all brilliantly reproduced as high quality prints. any fan of Bowie's would love this book. As would any aspiring celebrity photographer.

I can remember being absolutely intrigued by David Bowie's image as a young lad of 11 or so. This was the hey day of glam rock and there were no such things as women in rock, or so I thought, mind you I was convinced that The New York Dolls and Brian Eno were very strange looking women. Once this myth was dispelled, I thought that rock stars had to dress up as women as real women were not allowed to play in Rock Bands.Some how I always knew that David, no matter how much makeup and androgynous clothing he wore, was a bloke through and through. We had a black and white television and read Melody Maker and NME, therefore David was not usually available in full colour. There were colour pop mags and several of the pictures featured in this fantastic book were on my bedroom wall.Along with the familiar images are some photo's that I have never seen before and with an entertaining narrative from Bowie Himself this is a feast of Sound and Vision. This book took me back to the 11 year old school boy and is a must for a Bowie fan, or even for the mildly curious. Now there was a man who sounded as good as he looked....

Book is delightful, but the packaging is terrible. Lucky my book survived, even the delivery guy looked sheepish. I would have put a photo but it's not allowing it. Fantastic book.

A must for all Bowie fans. Stunning photography by the late great Mick Rock. Interesting snippets of commentary about the photos and stories behind them. A beautiful book documenting the most creative music artist ever!!!
