Loving, heartfelt tribute to a beautiful soul. The photographs are so insightful, and the intro essays are also great.

Nice collector's item. What you might call a pocket-size coffee table edition, if that makes sense. It's small enough you could literally carry it in your pocket. Filled with nice shots of Bob, some enlightening exposition by Roger Steffens (#8 Most Influential Person in Reggae, as selected by the Jamaica Observer). Makes a nice gift for the Marley fan. Review by author of Stir It Up: The CIA Targets Jamaica, Bob Marley and the Progressive Manley Government, a novel.

Bob Marley was such a powerful force in his native Jamaica and he expanded that brand all over the world. He has been dead 12 years and his songs and music still top the music charts. Not too many artists have that much lasting impact.

Excellent photos, many of which are not found elsewhere.
