Reviews"Lovingly created, visually engaging 3-D-illustrated book ... Queen in 3-D, as well as providing the closest thing to a com- pletely non-ghost- written Brian May autobiography we're ever likely to get, chronicles (with the aid of numerous beautifully restored and reproduced shots from May's own archive that can be viewed with a specially designed and included OWL stereo- scope) the author's journey from childhood experiments, with his ever-ingenious Red Special designer Dad, to the publication of the book itself. A singularly engaging trip that incorporates his entire Queen career along the way." - Classic Rock "Rock fans will flip over Queen in 3-D (London Stereophonic Company), a coffee-table-book collection of photos of the classic rock band taken by guitarist Brain May, who's used a stereoscopic 3-D camera to chronicle his time and travels with the iconic group since the early 1970s. It even comes with a special snap-together plastic viewer." - Parade.com "The closest thing to an autobiography May has written." - The Bookseller "Queen guitarist releases incredible unseen 3-D photographs of the band in a new book" - Mail Online "This book is beautiful." - Chris Evans, BBC Radio 2 "Queen In 3D, brings out unsung sides of Mercury." - Mojo "Music's wisest rock shaman shares memories from his 47-year Queen career." - NME "May's 3D pictures capture Queen in all their pomp." - Guardia, "[Queen in 3-D] captures the thrilling history of [Queen] with over 300 previously unseen stereoscopic photographs. (Stereoscopic, or 3-D, photography re-creates the illusion of depth by utilizing the binocularity of our vision.) The impressive book includes his own reflective narrative (May didn't need a ghostwriter), and comes with an OWL 3-D viewer, which brings out the full effect of these images. The cover photo, and many of the images within, focuses on Queen's iconic lead singer, Freddie Mercury, who died in 1991 after battling AIDS. Mercury's vocals, sometimes operatic (Queen's mix of rock and opera is groundbreaking), other times roaring with rock fury and his theatrical stage persona made him one of music's most beloved frontmen." -- Newsweek

Edition DescriptionIllustrated edition

SynopsisThis second edition of the deluxe slipcased version of the book is released against the backdrop of Queen at the very pinnacle of success, touring the world, filling stadiums, while their 4 times Oscar winning film Bohemian Rhapsody plays worldwide and breaks box office records. This book now includes the stereos Brian shot on set during the ......, In Brian May's own words and more than 300 previously unseen 3-D photographs, Queen in 3-D is an insider's look at life with the rock band Queen, told for the first time. The pictures and self-penned text tell the story of Brian's discovery of the world of stereoscopy as a boy, and chronicles Queen from the early 1970s to the present day. The images, from Brian's personal archives, were taken using the various stereo cameras which Brian carried throughout his life. Viewed in May's patented OWL viewer (included), they leap into stunning three-dimensional realism, giving uniquely vivid impressions of life with Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor, John Deacon and Brian himself, alongside the people who helped to shape Queen's amazing global adventure. 3-D photos and text exclusively by Brian May Featuring Queen on and off stage from the 1970s to the present day More than 300 previously unseen stereo images Brian May's glimpses of life in the studio and on the road Bonus sections including 21st century-Queen + Adam Lambert Includes a 3-D viewer designed by Dr. May Each volume now has more than 17 stereo images from the movie, Many books have been written about Queen, but this is a first "an intimate view from the inside by a founder band member"; its also the first history of any rock group ever to be created in 3-D. Not only has Brian May written the book (no ghost writer here), but the 3-D illustrations were all captured with Brians stereoscopic cameras, mostly by the man himself. From an early age Brian would travel with a stereo (3-D) camera in hand, so on Queen tours and during recordings he was able to capture rare behind-the-scenes moments of one of the worlds greatest rock bands. Decades later these are now being shared for the very first time. Some of the photographs had not even been fully processed until the book was in the making. Initially thought by Brian to be a quick job, this project turned into a labour of love for May and his team which spanned three years. Each time the book seemed to be close to completion, more 3-D photos were found in forgotten hiding places, prompting further memories and filling in the gaps in the narrative. The book eventually became a compelling set of snapshots of Brians life and the life of Queen, over more than 50 years.
