Curated by Ziggy Marley

In honor of Bob Marley’s 75th birthday, this oversize book collects more than 150 photographs that celebrate the life and influence of the forefather of reggae and one of the greatest musical and sociopolitical icons of 20th-century pop culture. Drawing exclusively on photos in the Marley family archives, the book mixes the iconic and the intimate—bringing together striking images of Marley as a performer onstage with unseen glimpses into his creative process in and out of the studio and his family life in Jamaica. Making the most of its large pages, the book is designed as a monument to his influence.
