Mick's book is great. I even like Bob Brunning's book, despite the obvious factual errors. There's even a few new things that didn't appear in Mick's book, like the Christine/Martin Birch affair. But, Rumours Exposed is a terrible book, a complete waste of money.

Mick's book is IMO about the best of the bunch but I do wonder if all of it is true. I agree that Rumours Exposed is rubbish.

I can't see Christine writing a book but maybe she persuade her brother? As long as it's not called Songbird!

Mick's was a fun read, but truly there have been no really excellent books on FM published - (at least on the level of the recent book on Tom Petty or Bob Dylan, or Wilco)

I agree everyone's suggestion of Mick's Book, My 25 Years in Fleetwood Mac. I would try to purchase the hardcover with the CD.

I also thought that the new book about Rumours was pretty good, Never Break the Chain : Fleetwood Mac and the Making of Rumours by Cath Carroll


There are also some good books about individual members(besides Mick) too:

Peter Green: The Authorized Biography with a Foreword by B. B. King written by Martin Celmins

STEVIE NICKS by Ethlie Ann Vare----This one is hard to find now.

yea theres not much around on that, no one ever says how christine & john recovered from that, it just appears that they just did! in the bob brunning book hes too busy talking about him & jenny to go into much detail. & i guess mick was probably just scared to say anything about it! unless christine did actually kill him! we dont know much about this little bit in mac history.
