Books about Fleetwood Mac
 
Does anyone know any books written about Fleetwood Mac that are in circulation?:shrug: :nod:

Look at amazon or other websites. I think you will find used books. The best, as I said, in my opinion, is Mick's Autobiography (with Stephen Davis). "My life and adventures in Fleetwood Mac".

Bob Brunning books are good too.

A lot of basic, factual mistakes that make you yell at the book? :shrug:

I have Mick's "25 Years"; and two copies of his coffee table book(one sealed, one opened). Also, I have Rumours Exposed.

Actually having 25 Years and the coffee table book, you could have WRITTEN Rumours Exposed!

Or Rumoursexposed as the paperback copy I borrowed was titled, just in case anyone didn't get it.

I agree. Brunning's Book is interesting for the coverage of the 1973-78 lawsuit from Davis's perspective, but even then I wonder if he's getting facts wrong. In other places where simple facts are misreported I wonder if he even cares about the material or is just trying to make money on his tenuous association with the band.

The Samuel Graham book (I forget the title) that came out back in 1976 is pretty good up to that point. I'd like to see an updated edition from him that would bring his book up to date.

Good lord, the man would have to write a second book altogether with everything that's happened since 1976!

Though, to be fair, it is entitled "MY Life and Adventures in Fleetwood Mac."

I dunno...I really enjoyed it. The way he described certain things (especially the Tusk tour and his relationship with Stevie) were really fascinating. I guess some of that would have gotten a little help from Stephen Davis but whatever. I guess if we had a Stevie or a Lindsey book to compare it to...
