Im not that keen on reading a persons autobiography while their careers arent over..theres so much more that could be added to it if its only covered three quarters of their careers its probably a good reason why they do it but the books always seen so unfinished to me.Micks autobiography will certainly be a good one when it comes out.

Amazon Germany says 900!!! pages

Editors today have too much control on the content of any given book. Reading Ronnie Wood and Eric Clapton's Bios left me under the impression that a lot was left on the "cutting room's floor." Having read Terri irwin's book on her life with Steve, she mentions that her first draft was 900 pages. What we got is a little over 270 pages. They were/are nothing more than Magazine articles for light weight reading. A new book on Caesar the Roman Emperor, that came out around this period was close to 600 pages. The difference I guess the first three were consider " Summer Reading" and the latter Academia. At least Keith's is coming out in the fall.Wish it to be around 800 to 900 pages and cover not only who do what to whom but, touch on Recording sessions, Picking a song list for that night show, Etc;

Fukcing hell, if it's Keith doing the audio, I hope it comes with a translator.

They've recruited Ozzy !

Mick Taylor is being called in to do the audio.

Shit graphics n all! Bet that aint the books final cover....

Don't judge a book by its cover. Besides, there's no possible cover that someone won't be complaining about. I see this same type of comment by any band that releases a new cd in regards to the cover art. Who gives a shit!?
