This fully authorized biography complements their greatest hits CD, ABBA GOLD, and contains over 250 photos and a complete discography.

Good for an overview of ABBA's work and all their albums; a lot of good photographs - and a good segue into a more in-depth story behind the band dynamics!

Like the other books on the history of ABBA this one has plenty of information and lots of beautiful photographs. It's organized into a year-by-year structure. There are a number of similar books, but I feel that having each one of them helps to form a more in-depth picture of ABBA than any one book could do on its own.
