READ ALL ABOUT IT

I have to agree that this book is way too polite to the music industry in light of the Hollywood Babylon books by Kenneth Anger. It has great pictures though, from the early days right on through the current crop of bad boys (and girls). Because this is a British publication, it would benefit greatly from being proofread by an American to take out the glaring (minor) errors before a 4th edition is published. Don't let that deter you though. It dishes plenty of (watered down) dirt. Also, be aware that there is another cover than the one shown above. So, step on up and read all about it.
