Summary: Frank Lisciandro "An Hour for Magic"
Review: This book originally came out in 1982, which is when I got my copy of it. It is a very good memoir of Jim Morrison and, tangentially, The Doors by Frank Lisciandro. Lisciandro was one of The Doors' photographers and a close personal friend of Morrison. It is a personal, anecdotal memoir, portraying Morrison as a personal friend, rather than as the Lizard King. I especially like the account of the poetry recording session (that would later become the "American Prayer" poetry album). There is also a very good account of the incident where Paul Rothchild walked out from the production of the "L.A. Woman" album, leaving the Doors to produce that album by themselves with Bruce Botnick. In any event, I highly recommend it.
