Review of the book:

Famous Photos, 24 February, 2003

I recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humour, an eye for detail and an interest in celebrities.

Bruce Robertson takes you on a wonderful journey of discovery and photography. With chapter titles such as "Meeting Meatloaf at a Cardiff Hotel" and "A Meeting with jason Cook - A Fairy Tale Come True' Robertson's narrative is as tenacious and relentless as Robertson himself in his ongoing search for photos of the rich and famous. Take this anecdote of meeting the meaty rock-god, Meatloaf himself:

' "Excuse me," I said, "Could I have a quick photo with you? Perhaps you'd also sign my album?"
He looked round at me and smiled. "Sure you can," he boomed. "Boy, no problem at all."
...
True to his word, Meatloaf had a picture with me, obligingly taken by a Guardian reader; and afterwards Meatloaf duly signed my Album.'

Genius. This is a book jam-packed with stars, but the real star is Bruce himself.
