A new book about Led Zeppelin titled Led Zeppelin: The Only Way To Fly is due to be published by Landsowne in September 2025. It can be pre-ordered with the publishers here or on Elvinyl here. The book is an enormous quarter-bound hardback packed with barely seen archival information and imagery.
As the publisher notes, it contains the most detailed and accurate account ever of the pathway to the group’s formation and the events of their meteoric first year, culminating in the release of the mighty Led Zeppelin II. Amongst much else, it also includes a long and personal introduction by Chris Welch, who knew them from the very start.
Alongside it is a wealth of rare material concerning the members’ earlier careers, and reproductions of virtually every piece of press they received between getting together in August 1968 and the release of Led Zeppelin II in October 1969.
