Summary: The Best Series for the Serious Music Fan
Review: I have read a couple of the other "in thier own words" book, the ones on Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, The Beatles, Morrissey, and this one on Leonard Cohen does not disappoint. These books are only as good as thier subject, but what makes them so extrordinary is that they are precicely that, as good as the great artists they are about. Mr. Cohen's book is filled with great photographs and quotes, bursting out for fans to sink their teeth into. Everyone who is familiar with Mr. Cohen's work knows he is considered by many to be one of the premier songwriting talents in pop music history, and this book, better than all others, reveals the core of the man. In his own words indeed. I loved it!

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This book is an absolute must for Leonard Cohen fans. True, it's not very thick (about 100 pages), but you can pick it up for a good price, and it is packed with TONS of priceless Cohen quotes and many, many excellent photographs. We get quotes from Cohen ("In Their Own Words" indeed), on just about every subject... his songs, albums, books, and poetry, the art of songwriting, his life, religion, other artists, women, love & relationships, and much, much more. We also get commentary and ancedotes on Cohen, quotes on him from other artists, and a larger selection of Cohen photographs than I have seen anywhere else (very good ones, too.) This books comes highly reccommended for all fans of Leonard Cohen.
