Summary: An OK overview of Mann and the MMEB
Review: I bought this with excitement - but the content is less than expected. I applaud the guy who wrote it - someone finally wrote a book on Mann! But his material lacks depth, staying to a general history of the band and discography without too many details or personal histories. The text is spread painfully thin on many pages (as a graphic designer, I winced at how bad the layout is). I recommend this book for anyone yearning for info on Mann and the MMEB. But if you want to know the details - for example, where did the lyrics of 'Fat Nelly' come from or what inspired them? When and where did the band tour? Any tour anecdotes? Any personal reflections by Mann (or his present or former bandmates) on his career other than general platitudes?

Summary: Don't Bother
Review: Much like Greg's Yardbird's book, this documentation on Mafred Mann is fundematally weak. Greg' prose, dare I call it that, is farily pedantic. This work is purley a catalogue of vinyl releases without any real insight into the creative process behind the music.It is sad that there has not been a real book about this band - becasue this is NOT it!
