This is new to me, thanks for the heads up:) Hope its worth buying :blob1:

Good to have a release date. Thought it was spelt Stephen but guess not. :D

Oh, I hope this is something good and new. I don't want to sound pessimistic about this news, but sometimes I think I get more good, solid, interesting information here on The Ledge than I do from any of these books. However--I must admit--I did like CAH's book.

So check out this link from Amazon.com...

On the photo, it says Gold Dust Woman - The Autobiography of Stevie Nicks. But an autobiography is when someone writes their own story. Shouldn't they call it The Biography of Stevie Nicks?

Might be a mock up cover, perhaps? Along with that error, there's also the fact the author's name is spelt 'Steven' on it whereas he seems to be 'Stephen Davis' in his other published works...

320 pages apparently in hardback, by the way, folks.

My guess: it's just a collection of old interviews, magazine articles + some pics everybody has seen a hundred times before (but I hope I'm wrong)

I hope it talks about that gig on the Timespace tour when Stevie made a visual mockery of Sharon and then threw a guitar at her. Stephen Davis always gets to the heart of the matter.

:laugh:
Yes, that would be awesome...what we've all been waiting for. :)

This will undoubtably be the best biography (by a mile) we've ever gotten about Stevie Nicks - and that's not saying much compared with what's currently available. :shrug: Though there was the paperback "Everything You Want to Know About Stevie Nicks" by Ed Ochs & Ethlie Ann Vare in 1984 which was a real page turner.
I'm most interested to know if it's unauthorized, or perhaps Stevie allowed access to her peers and collaborators, and maybe even sat down herself with Stephen Davis.

I want to get the book. but I won't get it right away.

I agree. I would think maybe she does know Stephen Davis since Mick's book w/ Davis.

I don't think this is the same Author who worked on Mick Fleetwoods Autobiography. That one is Stephen Davis. This is SteVen so I wouldn't expect this to be any better than the others that have been released. Well, maybe better than the ones by Edward Wincentsen, but that's not saying much.

I talked to a publicist at St. Martin's Press. It is Stephen Davis and it is a biography. The cover mock up is incorrect. This is the same guy that worked with Mick on his book.

Cool! Maybe it will be decent then!
