Praise for this book

Wonderful... Of all the many Stones books, this well-rounded one provides behind-the-scenes satisfaction.-- "Star Tribune"
There are books about the Stones, there are books by the Stones... and there are books that, frankly, are the Stones. Or, at least, there are now... Unzipped is the visual equivalent of putting on your favorite clutch of Stonesian albums and just losing yourself for a day or so.-- "Goldmine"
A must for Stones' fans and really anyone who loves rock 'n' roll.-- "WAG"
A lavish tribute to [the band's] iconography... A very plush, surprisingly eye-opening package, not unlike the Stones' musical body of work.-- "Psychobabble"
Presented in lavish and spectacular fashion, Unzipped traces not only the band's astounding musical career but also their indelible imprint on recording, clothing, art and design, filmmaking, and concert staging... There are lots of books about the Stones' career, but Unzipped takes it to another level in visually examining the band's reach not just in music but pop culture.-- "Forbes"
[A] fresh take on the band and its influence on pop culture... This book is sure to put a smile on the face of the rock fan on your holiday gift list.-- "The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"
