At 400 plus packed pages ? Give over man. This is a great book which kicks Greil Marcus's skimpy effort right into touch. It's the best book on a major rock musician I've read since 'Revolution In The Head'. Continuum are to be commended for publishing it, I'd say.PhilBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-61909986339017476172010-07-14T02:22:44.224-04:002010-07-14T02:22:44.224-04:00I found this book very poor indeed and a great dis...I found this book very poor indeed and a great disappointment. Despite the author's intentions, his thesis is far too insubstantial and does no justice whatever to his subject. I've discussed this at some length in my Amazon UK review.<br /><br />I'd be interested if you could comment here on why Continuum elected to import the hardback edition of this book without any dust jacket; the slight economy from doing so is certainly not reflected in the £45 RRP.Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15464069586293077271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-37145134472196077772010-04-13T03:27:17.182-04:002010-04-13T03:27:17.182-04:00Well, that sounds impressive.Well, that sounds impressive.gihhttp://get-infoz.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11905858.post-52668647880913204412010-04-12T13:06:40.605-04:002010-04-12T13:06:40.605-04:00Just been reading Greil Marcus's book on Van t...Just been reading Greil Marcus's book on Van the Man. It has some great Marcus touches, but seems like a book he has written quickly - so not the exhaustive study that you have published, perhaps.<br /><br />Did you know that the UK imprint of Marcus's book - not yet published - has the EXACT same cover shot as your Peter Mills book!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
