JMagnifico! -An A-Z of Queen is a book written in response to the extraordinary success of Bohemian Rhapsody, and to celebrate Queen's forthcoming high profile 50th anniversary.
An A-Z Of Queen tells their story via a series of essays, mini-biographies, episodes, lists and anecdotes.
At times, the book also offers serious analysis: explaining how Freddie Mercury's funeral was effectively stage-managed by their management, and how, in hindsight, the singer challenged the sexual mores and prejudices of the late 20th century. Similarly, it addresses the phenomenal success of Bohemian Rhapsody and how the film has sold cinema audiences an alternative version of the Queen story, far removed from the truth.
This is a book which can be read from cover to cover or sampled randomly. Every everyentry aims to celebrate, inform, entertain, sometimes amuse, and above all, shed new light on the story of Queen and their music.
