[Mark · Rating 3 out of 5]

Big book, lots of pictures,few words, already dated.

[David Highton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A bit of a coffee table book, but great quotes and even better photographs

[Keeko · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fun book, clever idea of blend their comments as a conversation, so there's no feeling of an interviewer, just the guys telling their story. The photos are fantastic. Handy touch at the end in the way they identify the photos by showing small versions of each photo, and nice to include bios of the people who have worked with them over the years and made it all possible. The quality of the book is top-notch. Yay to the interviewers/editors Jools Holland and Dora Lowenstein! Well done.
