hi. I wasn't sure where to ask this question. I want to know if Fleetwood Mac: 40 Years of Creative Chaos is a good book. I want to read it, but I wanted input before ordering it. Thanks.

If Brunning's or Fleetwood's books are referenced, you'll need a 10lb bag of salt. Never leave the band's history to the original rhythm section.

Thanks. That book is so expensive, so I wanted input before I order it. Do you think there is a reason why it is so expensive?

I didn't know anything about this until now. I'll have to research it. Sounds interesting.

If Brunning is in anyway involved, it's probably a steaming pile of shyte! Guy has been trying to make money off his ever so brief tenure with FM for decades. I find it sad. At least with Mick he was actually there for the vast majority of what he wrote about, albeit "fuzzy memories".

To call Brunning's writing "turgid prose" would be a compliment in my opinion!
