This is a nice photo album. Many fine pictures of Keith Richards--and the Rolling Stones--from Day One. That makes this a nice addition to one's rock and roll library. However, it would have been good to have had more text.
The photos, as noted, are fine. The text is quite telegraphic. Here, a few sentences on Brian Jones, Anita Pallenberg, and Keith. The story is obviously one of substance, but there is little detail provided.
The description of the albums created over time (whether Keith's solos or Mick Jagger's solos, or Stones' works) tends to be, again, underdone. While the photos are wonderful--and the aging of Richards is well depicted--the volume does cry out for more detail on tje music.
Still, for what it is, this works pretty well.

Way too long, though I read the whole darn thing. Honestly, I was most taken by his descriptions of growing up after WWII.

This was entertaining and I did learn a few new things about the amazing Keith Richards.
The most amazing thing about him is that he keeps going after all the crap he put himself through.
Also a cautionary tale for today's musicians who think they are going to live forever.
