I say nay.
I am on the fence, but I have decided against buying the book. I don't know what to think about the allegations about Lindsey being abusive. Carol Ann did appear on one of those daytime talk shows where she discussed the abuse, in particular, and there are the infamous passages of Mick's book, that Stevie has said are not true.
Let me start by saying that I am an LB fan more than any other member of the band. I would guess that there was some drug-fueled phyiscal stuff, which does not justify taking a hand to anyone, but I don't believe that he never hit a girlfriend of his. There's too much information (even if flawed) out there to the contrary.
That said, I don't want to support what is clearly an effort to cash in on a private relationship by throwing mud on Lindsey to sell books. I'm not reading the Tina Brown bio of Diana either for the same reason.
