DIFFERENT BITS AND PIECES - DONT EXPECT A STORY..

This book is a collection of Manson's entire testimony, drawings, lyrics, artwork, letters, articles, photos, poems and short stories by Manson. (If you're looking for details about the murders or Manson and his "family" l suggest 'Manson - in his own words'.) This book doesnt offer much detail about all that. It also has some interesting quotes from his philosophy, "Maybe you lost your real self and your real life for paper with pictures of dead people on them" "The news gives you 5% of whats going on, and even thats distorted" "l was convicted of witchcraft in the 20th century and my case made the prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi filthy rich behind the book and film he wrote - enough said". This book makes a good addition for someone who is already familiar with Charlie, the "family" and the crimes.

The Manson File

Probably the only out and out pro-Manson book that has ever been published. Contributers range from Manson sympathizers to out and out "family" members in essays and art. The good bulk of this book however is straight from Charles Manson himself. Interviews, quotes, transcripts of court and parole hearings, poetry and fiction written by Charles Manson, even artwork by him. The Manson File is probably the best book you can get to learn anything about Manson and his philosophy.

takes Manson seriously

If your're interested in some sensationalist hack job in the "true" crime genre, go read Bugliosi's book, or Sanders'. If you want some entertaining and enlightening creations straight from the horse's mouth (the horse being Manson himself), this little gem is the place to look. It contains plenty of excellent material available nowhere else.

A Must Read!

This is a very interesting book. It is a must read for any Mansonphile. I loved it.
