       Queen: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Crown Kings of
       Rock is definitely a labor of love for those that put the book
       together. There are tons of pics that I had never seen before
       till this bad boy came out. The book is exactly what the title
       claims itself to be, but it's so much more than that.
       Most coffee table books are all pictures and nothing else, which
       you end up "reading" inside of 30 minutes and then your done
       with it. But The Ultimate Illustrated History is both a picture
       book as well as a retelling of the history of Queen, with input
       from Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon. And there are a
       handful of testimonials from the likes of Rob Halford and Slash
       just to name a few that expound on the greatness of Queen and
       what the band means to them.
       Along with the recounting of their history, there are
       discography reviews of all their studio albums. Yes, even the
       one with Paul Rodgers is included. The only thing that's really
       missing from the book are the insights into the music videos
       they made. It would have been nice to hear some stories about
       behind the scenes stuff here. Only a couple of videos are
       mentioned and not much is said about those in great detail. Oh
       well.
       I highly recommend this book to any Queen fan and non-fan.
       There's a lot to take from the book and it will take you awhile
       to read through it. FYI, the book is fucking heavy. This can be
       used as a doorstop or a destructive weapon. Your choice.
