I have the Bob Brunning book, but I guess is not R&L but the one before, right after The Dance was released. (R&L is 2004 I guess).
It's a good book if you look for mac information, I think Bob has collected many info from magazine articles or so I read. But Mick's biography has more details about the band history (just before Behind the Mask was released) and it has a very nice personal touch. I really enjoyed Mick's book.

Bob's book was good but it just helped me to know how Stevie and Chris left the band during the BTM tour and some more info about the Dance reunion. It doesn't detail how Lindsey left the band in 1987, as Mick's book does.

Bob's book is filled with all matter of errors, actually. I'd start with Mick's book and then, for a bit of comparison, go to Bob's book.

On kudo: Bob does a better job, I think, of covering the Mac legal fiasco of 73-74, in part because he offers a more balanced assessment of both sides than any other book on Mac I've read.

I agree. I think both of those books are very good reads. Bob's book has some interesting info, despite some factual errors. I think Mick's book is a great read and both Bob Welch & John McVie have by and large vouched for the accuracy of the book. That's good enough for me.

That Rumours And Lies book is worthless trash, a waste of money.
