Queen In 3-D: The Bohemian Rhapsody Deluxe Edition by Brian May

Hand Signed by Brian May to the Bespoke Bookplate
Hardback 1st Edition
New & Unread

"There’s no ghost writer for this book. It’s just me. And we’ve deliberately kept the text "in my voice", rather than translate it into literary prose. In these pages I’m speaking directly to you across time, as I recall those days, and sometimes actually in the words I wrote down at the time; but also through a collection of 3-D images which will take you back there, to see it with your own eyes." – Brian May

Thus it was that Brian May announced the first edition of this book, the first ever to be published about the legendary rock band Queen by a member of the band, and containing a unique collection of highly personal snapshots of Queen in three dimensions, from the band’s inception in the early seventies right up to the present day.

This updated second, Deluxe Slipcased Edition is released against the backdrop of Queen at the very pinnacle of success, touring the world, filling stadiums, while their four times Oscar winning film Bohemian Rhapsody plays worldwide and breaks box office records. This book includes the recent stereos Brian shot on set during the making of the film Bohemian Rhapsody.

  • Pages: 262
  • Images: 300 stereo and 60 mono photographs mostly in colour.
  • Full fold out 3-D ‘OWL’ patent viewer included
  • Size: 325mm x 240mm

About the Author: Brian May, founder member, songwriter and guitarist with the rock band Queen, and co-creator of the internationally successful rock theatrical, We Will Rock You, is also a Doctor of Astrophysics, a leading campaigner for animal rights, and a lifelong 3-D photography enthusiast. Most recently, he has become a successful publisher, dedicated to sharing his vast collection of Victorian stereo photographs with the world through the books released by the London Stereoscopic Company (a fond recreation of the highly successful company of the same name founded in 1854). Brian currently tours with Queen for much of the year with Adam Lambert as lead vocalist, as well as composing, recording and performing in collaboration with West End star Kerry Ellis, an original luminary of the cast of We Will Rock You. His many other recent projects include working on 3-D 360 degree virtual reality movies and four time Oscar winning film, Bohemian Rhapsody.
