ABBA: The Official Photo Book: 600 Rare, Classic, and Unseen Photographs Telling the Complete Story Hardcover – September 23, 2014

I just got my copy ... Of course, as a hardcore ABBA fan, it's awesome ...As promised, this Official Photo Book includes heaps of rare photos and some familiar ones. Of course, no 'Official Photo Book' can depict the true ABBA story without the inclusion of some iconic familiar photos...This book is sized like an LP vinyl album jacket ... albeit weighing over six pounds! The book quality is as one would expect from an ABBA endorsed 'Official Photo Book' - paper quality, printing, color separation, book binding and dust jacket are all worthy of the title 'ABBA "The Official Photo Book".This is essentially a Photo Book with notes ... so it epitomizes the description 'coffee table book' ... beautiful eye catching photos with minimal text that might distract from the relaxing mood of browsing a photo book.I especially like the Foreword from the ABBA members and their replica autographs at the beginning of the book ... It's almost like buying an autographed memorabilia item from all members of the group with ... of course, the $avings! :))This ABBA collector's book is money well spent. This book along with ABBA Live At Wembley Arena [2CD Deluxe Edition Book] would now complete my ABBA collection ... unless of course, ABBA releases all new material. Hey I am allowed to dream! :)I just wanted to share some photos of this supersized coffee table book weighing over six pounds! No reading in bed with this one! :)SEE MY PHOTOS IN CUSTOMER IMAGES ...Hope my review and photos were helpful ... Jeffrey A. (Jeff)

Marvelous book covering every aspect of Bjorn, Agnetha, Anni-Frid and Benny! I got so much information out of this book, that I feel much closer to the band now. You get a bunch of details regarding their careers before ABBA. Agnetha was already a big star in Sweden with hits, singles and albums charting. Benny and Bjorn rocking the folk out in their bands Hep Stars and The Hootenanny Singers respectively. And Frida getting her first job in the music business at the age of 13! But the main focus are, of course those 10 phenomenal years (1972-82) where ABBA wrote pop history! Wonderful pictures with a lot of insights and plenty of off stage moments too. There is even space for some nice and deserved close-ups on the backing band (guitarist Janne Schaffer and drummer Ola Brunkert) and production team. Nostalgia punches are guaranteed while paging through this heavy and beautiful book. It is a shame that everything has to end. Time for Arrival and to press the START button! Here we go again...

This is one big thick book that covers the bands career, each a section of the band members, the photos are fantastic, covering some of the hits, Waterloo etc. Great photos. Many of us grew up with Abba and still love their music. This book is great memory of a different era with great music

This is a beautifully produced book - very large and weighs a ton - that is full of rare photos. Covering the group's prehistory before ABBA was formed (each member had already enjoyed teen success in solo careers and/or as members of other groups), the book is chronological in nature and features informative and detailed text that accompany the photos. The photos are remarkable, of high quality and capture the group in every phase of their remarkable career. The only drawback is that the book is so big and heavy, it is difficult to look at comfortably.

I knew when I bought this book that it was used. It was in Very Good condition as described. It was a gift for my Dad and he was thrilled! Thank you 😊

This book does contain many interesting and otherwise unavailable photos of the group; but just as important, has facts, comments from them, and insights that are not available elsewhere. The text will give you a different view of these intelligent, articulate people. Be prepared for the fact that the book is physically heavy.

Received on time. It was a gift for a friend whoIs a huge ABBA fan. She loves it. The pictures are of excellent quality!It is a very heavy book.

Just as I thought, I knew the history and have seen pretty much every picture that ABBA have taken during their active years, I was stunned to see all these new sessions. It was astonishing to witness the depth of their story and the level of their professionalism. By looking at this book, you would think that during the 10 years of their international fame all they did was take pictures. But that's not true as we all know. They gave us those immortal tunes.
