If you have only one Pink Floyd coffee table book, make sure it's this one.
I consider myself a BIG Pink Floyd fan. I have the Shine On set, I have the Early Years set, I have the Dark Side and Wish You Were Here Immersion sets, plus plenty of bootlegs, just to establish my bona fides.This is the third Pink Floyd "coffee table" book I own, the other two being Nick Mason's "Inside Out" and Storm Thorgerson's "Mind Over Matter: The Images of Pink Floyd". While those are both excellent volumes, this one is superb.The quality of "Their Mortal Remains" is instantly apparently, from the gorgeous photography (including many snaps of band gear) to the excellent layout. The essays are thoughtful and insightful, although Howard Goodall's made it clear I know very little about music!The album essays are informative, although I would have preferred a little more attention given to Dark Side and WYWH, given how pivotal they were in the band's success. Surprisingly, the profile of The Final Cut mistakenly refers to "Corporal Clegg" appearing on The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. I guess the copy editor missed that one.For anyone with an interest in Pink Floyd, this is the volume to get. It's worth every cent. In fact, I would have gladly paid more for this...even at $65, this would be a steal. And it's the perfect document to mark 50 years since Piper and 1967.

Beautiful book featuring band photos
Beautiful book featuring band photos, the gear used throughout their career, and a detailed look on what made them so special. This book (and exhibit by the same name) is a fitting end to one of rock's most endearing and unique bands. If you are a Pink Floyd "junkie" like myself, you will have already seen many of the photos, and know of the band's rapid rise in the late 60's, their breakout period of the 70's, their nasty break-up of the mid 80's, and finally their rebirth during the latter part of the 80's. However, thankfully there were plenty of stories and photos here that was even new to me. For a person just discovering Pink Floyd's legacy, this will just blow them away. Just a great book.......so if you are a fan, just click 'Buy' right now, and as said in one of their songs "I can't think of anything to say except....I think it's marvellous! HaHaHa!" ;)

This is a must have for any Pink Floyd fan!
What a fabulous journey through the many decades that Pink Floyd and its members have given us with their art! This book is a gem! It’s huge, detailed and printed on high quality paper. The photographs alone are well worth the cost of the book. The writing is lucid, focused and evocative of the moods Pink Floyd create with their music. This really is a treasure for any fan of the band and its members. I especially appreciate the separate sections for each of their records providing detailed background material that I was not previously aware of. World class in every way!!! Such a fun, interesting and high quality product- well done!

Anyone else have blank pages in the middle of their book?
To anyone that purchased the book, I just want to know if all the photos/text showed up on pages between 162 - 175. My book all but about 3 pages are blank and some have a 1/4 photo that very faded. Very disappointed and I just want to know if I received a bad book or not. Other than that, it is a beautiful book.UPDATE: Amazon replaced my book within the week and this book is complete, no issues at all. All pages are beautifully done. This is a wonderful book for all Pink Floyd fans,,,Thank you Amazon!

Wonderful book about Pink Floyd and their stuff!
It's the official companion book to Pink Floyd's "Mortal Remains" exhibition that is touring the world! It's written in sections by people who have known and previously written about them. It includes an excellent collection of photos of the band, album art, concert posters, and musical equipment spanning their whole career. A bit expensive, but an excellent addition to a PF collection!

There’s many many articles to read - including some pretty deep analysis of the floyd’s music - and it’s ...
I just got this book in the mail today - it’s phenomenal so I just wanted to make sure everyone knew about it. It’s a solid hardcover book with an animated DSOTM cover. It’s got lots of pictures I’d never seen before, including lots from the museum exhibit in London. There’s many many articles to read - including some pretty deep analysis of the floyd’s music - and it’s a couple hundred pages long. Really worth the asking price.

Lacking in images, fonts are not of good taste.

Allein schon der Buchdeckel macht das Werk zu etwas Besonderem
Je nach Lichteinfall sieht man das Prisma von Dark Side of the Moon oder Kristalle auf dem Frontcover.Für den Kenner steht kaum Neues im Buch über diese Ikonen. Es wird jede Veröffentlichung besprochen, von der Entstehung bis zur Veröffentlichung und es finden sich urige Bilder von Instrumenten und elektronischen Geräten, die jeweils verwendet wurden. 5 Sterne
