Susan’s Book Coveting: Reckless Road

I know. I need to get as good about coveting Rock Fiction as I am about coveting Rock NONFiction.

(Have you subscribed to Rocks ‘n Reads, my review blog? You can keep up with my Rock Fiction exploits over there — once I’ve stopped coveting the books, picked them up, and read them, that is.)

Anyway, here’s one for us old-school rocker types. (Oh, holy shit, are we really old-school? When and how did THAT happen???)

Classic Rock Magazine, based in the UK, has just released a new book about the making of the seminal Appetite for Destruction album.

Here’s some skinny about it:

This is an authorised book by Marc Canter, which was originally published in America in 2008. It features over 600 never-seen-before pictures and rare memorabilia of GN’R in their early days, as the band formed and made the legendary Appetite For Destruction.

There are also interviews with Slash, Duff McKagan and Steven Adler, as well as the band’s old managers and roadies.

Read the whole thing here. As always, send and review or spare copies directly to me.
