I just got this book from Burning Shed this week and it is fascinating! It has bios of each band member, including stuff that other books have left out, details about recording sessions, concert appearances, etc. Great for just jumping in randomly, reading for a few pages, jumping to another part of the book, non-linear reading (something I like to do) I highly recommend this book. It is better than Chapter & Verse (IMOHI)
