- “The bond between photographer and subject is clear to see. It’s rare that we get a glimpse behind the scenes, particularly with an artist so in control of his image. But here we find a thorough portrait of an individual in all his guises. This is a truly indispensable book, not just for Bowie fans but also for people interested in rock history.”
- “For Bowie fans, it’s a must.”
- “For the love of Ziggy Stardust, these vintage photos of Bowie are just sublime.”
- “David Bowie fans, form an orderly queue… The book, with a cover that’s a playfully kitsch hologram of the singer’s face, follows the narrative of the record and is divided into 11 chapters, reflecting the 11 songs; each chapter captures the spirit of the respective lyrics.”
- “…the intimate photographs provide an unprecedented look into the period that arguably formed the icon’s persona.”
- “…a masterpiece of artistic design… Ziggy Stardust was a quintessential rock 'n' roll moment, and these photographs tell the story of an artist in full flight and in the process of conquering the world. Mick Rock was the right person at the right time to witness all of that.”
- “David absorbed things so fast. He made the concoction so rich and thick.”
