The time for a Stevie Nicks coffee table book has come & gone IMO. Stevie & Herbie should have stricken while the iron was still hot during 83'-ish till the mid 80's when there would have been more mainstream demand. Hell, Herbie hasn't even photographed Stevie since the late 80's. I believe his last Stevie album photographs were for OSOTM if I'm not mistaken, and that essentially was the end of an era. I do believe they had a bit of a falling out over drugs, and he became a bit of a hanger oner. But somehow almost 2 decades later Stevie agreed to let him peddle his calendars of outtakes in 07', 08' & 09', along with some posters & t-shirts and then mysteriously stopped. I'm sure some of that arose out of Stevie using his old "Tusk" era photographs & others for her "Crystal Visions" project.

I do agree that Herbie did capture THE Stevie Nicks iconic phase. Together they weaved bewitching and enigmatic impressions that endure & still dictate Stevie's carefully crafted image today regardless of who photographs her now.
