Queen’s music has crossed all barriers of age, race, colour and creed since the time we got together around 1970 and decided, precociously, that we would change the world! I feel proud of our efforts, and I hope this book will transmit some of the good feelings we felt in ourselves while it happened.

Announcing… Queen In 3-D The Bohemian Rhapsody Deluxe Edition

Qin3-D Bohemian Rhapsody Deluxe Editon

QUEEN in 3·D
The Bohemian Rhapsody DELUXE edition
BRIAN MAY

“There’s no ghost writer for this book. It’s just me. And we’ve deliberately kept the text “in my voice”, rather than translate it into literary prose. In these pages I’m speaking directly to you across time, as I recall those days, and sometimes actually in the words I wrote down at the time; but also through a collection of 3-D images which will take you back there, to see it with your own eyes.” – Brian May

Thus it was that Brian May announced the first edition of this book, the first ever to be published about the legendary rock band Queen by a member of the band, and containing a unique collection of highly personal snapshots of Queen in three dimensions, from the band’s inception in the early seventies right up to the present day.

This second, deluxe slipcased edition is released against the backdrop of Queen at the very pinnacle of success, touring the world, filling stadiums, while their 4 times Oscar winning him Bohemian Rhapsody plays worldwide and breaks box office records. This book includes the recent stereos Brian shot on set during the making of the film.

“Lovingly created, visually engaging 3-D-illustrated book …
Queen in 3-D, as well as providing the closest thing to a completely non-ghost-written Brian May autobiography we’re ever likely to get, chronicles (with the aid of numerous beautifully restored and reproduced shots from May’s own archive that can be viewed with a specially designed and included OWL stereoscope) the author’s journey from childhood experiments, with his ever-ingenious Red Special designer Dad, to the publication of the book itself.
A singularly engaging trip that incorporates his entire Queen career along the way.” – Classic Rock

“Rock fans will flip over Queen in 3-D, a coffee-table book collection of photos of the classic rock band taken by guitarist Brian May, who’s used a stereoscopic 3-D camera to chronicle his time and travels with the iconic group since the early 1970s. It even comes with a special snap-together plastic viewer.” – Parade.com
