I am in the middle or reading the book now and it is great! It is probably the definitive account of their history. 8)

Me 3 8) I need to start saving cash - I already have an order placed (no, not in the Web, but to my personal local "provider" of postal stamps on musicians, - this time I ordered the new Rolling Stones, The Beatles "All you need is Love", and Elvis' stamps, and already bought a new Elvis' death anniversary stamp printed on/for St Kitts island, costed me 78,- EEK=almost 7 dollars), thus need to get money in a months time anyway. Maybe after that I'll order this book :)

The book as a collection of interviews is certainly great. But say, how many pages exactly are there? Markrblake.com says it's 418, but amazon.co.uk - 320. Also, does the book featureany photos? :)

Its written as a book and not a book of interviews. The interviews form the basis/evidence of the narrative. Or it does up to where I have been reading at least!!

There are several pages of photos in the centre printed on glossy paper.

I have a hardback copy and it has 401 pages from chapter one to the end of the last chapter.

Mark has done a great job with it. I like the style. It is like chatting to a mate in a way!! Very enjoyable read up to now. Check it out. 8)
