Giveaway! Win a Copy of "Led Zeppelin FAQ" (Contest Ends March 24)

The giveaway has ended. Winners will be announced when confirmed.

PopCultureGuy, in conjunction with Hal Leonard Books and Backbeat Books, would like to give three lucky readers an opportunity to win a copy of the book Led Zeppelin FAQ: All That's Left to Know About the Greatest Hard Rock Band of All Time, by George Case. You can read my thoughts on the book here.

Description: In this exhaustive and insightful reference text, rock writer and cultural critic George Case details the key names, dates, figures, and features of one of the biggest and most mythologized rock-and-roll groups of all time: Led Zeppelin. Here, finally, are the answers to the puzzles that have haunted fans for over four decades – puzzles such as the meaning of Led Zep's enigmatic album covers; the truth about leader Jimmy Page's involvement with the occult; a breakdown of the sometimes murky roots of their greatest songs; firm data on their musical instruments, live performances, and studio productions; and sordid specifics of the band's infamously debauched private lives. But here, too, is a deeply reflective analysis of why Led Zeppelin's music has endured as long as it has, and of how Led Zeppelin's mystique has only grown in the years since their official disbanding. Placing the group in the context of their time and place, Case scrupulously compares and contrasts their achievements with those of their influences, rivals, and followers. Led Zeppelin FAQ is not only an indispensable listener's companion to a classic rock act, but a considered history of rock and roll as a business, an art form, and a worldwide social phenomenon. 

To enter the giveaway, send an e-mail to don.sauer@gmail.com, place "Zeppelin" in the subject line and include the name of your favorite Led Zeppelin song. The contest begins March 11, 2013 and runs through March 24, 2013. Three winners will then be drawn at random and notified shortly thereafter and will need to provide a shipping address at that time.

Open to U.S. residents only, 18 years of age or older.

Good luck and thank you for reading PopCultureGuy!
