Summary: A Fabulous Intro To Elton
Review: This A to Z format should become an ongoing series (as with Omnibus Press' Complete Guide To The Music Of...). This lists people, places and songs in encyclopedia format, capsule reviews of his albums (up to Made in England) and and list of song titles. This is a perfect intro to the music of Elton, but a little short on details regarding his biography.

Summary: There's A Mistake
Review: While the book is a fun read with Elton facts in alphbetical order, this is a mistake in the book that has just bugged me for a while. The two authors, especially one of them, is known as a major Elton historian. Why then, did he make the mistake?. The error in question is this - In describing the "Honky Chateau" album, it was stated that "Rocket Man" and "Honky Cat", the two singles off the album, were Elton's first top 10 singles?. Uh, sorry, but wrong. 2 years prior to this record, "Your Song" was a top 10 hit on the Billboard single charts. How can such a big historian make that mistake?.
