It make me think of the one by Roy CARR my very first book, who need an update for sure...
HMN
Actually I meant Roy Carr! My bad. That was also my first Stones book, and I loved it. So many great pictures, reviews and tidbits. I wish they would update it and re-release.
As it turns out, I "won" but have not yet received the book "Le Livre des Rolling Stones" by Francoise Ducray, Jacques Leblanc, Udo Woerhle in association with Michel Albin of "Rock & Folk" on ebay last month for $25.00. It's related to the people at "Rock & Folk" so I think it is the correct book. Either way, I got a good deal as it is out-of-print, has 400 black & white and color photos from 1963 to 1978.
I think it must be the correct book.
Here is the Anita and Marlon photo I think it contains -

Hi
During years , there were not so many books on our favorite Band.
Since about 10 years, there's plenty.
There's the must read ones and some others...plus some for sure who need an update.
Which are your Top 5 ?

Bill's first, as Keith's says, was for the most part exteremly boring (the detailed accounts of the Stones financials and record of women laid), but gives interesting points of view of one of the insiders and essential information on the stones in the 60s.
The Let it Bleed book will never win a prize for great literature, but is a great read for the information collected by the author on the making of the masterpiece.
That's about it.

I like Heart Of Stone the vinyl discography. I like Phllip Norman's . I also like Laura Jacksons on Brian and Mandy Aftel'a. It's only Rock and Roll is really good. Any photo book is nice.

All the biographical books about Stones- with the exception of Booth and Greenfield's STP - are pretty boring and dull. I don't know why such fascinating subject did't give birth to a really exiting book.
but I like some books with Stones content
According to The Rolling Stones
Faithful by Marianne Faithful
Stoned by Andrew Loog Oldham
Exile on Main Street by Bill Janovitz
Perfomance by Colin MacCabe
20 years of lipstick,Handcuffs and Chemicals by Chet Flippo

Agreed now, but at the time of their release, they were pretty good to read and I still like the one of Victor Bockris.

Top-3 up till now:
(1) Victor Bokris
(2) Bill German
(3) Bill Wyman
...Still need to read "LIFE"; as well as "Nankering with the Stones" (James Phelge). And after seeing the man on BBC 2, thursday (oct. 28), I think I'll go for Stanley Booth too one of these days...
Also, I had good fun with "Ronnie" & "Stone Me (The wit & wisdom of Keith Richards)", as well as "What would Keith Richards do?"...
And finally: from a fan's perspective, "Love You Live (Fanfare from the common fan)" gets an honourable mention.

I love Bill's Rolling With The Stones too. - Mikeeder
My sentiments too. I think Bill's coffetable sized book on the Stones might have gotten overlooked because the other Stones brought out 'According to the Rolling Stones' at the same time. Stone Alone & Rolling With The Stones are great together.

- Barbara Charone: Keith Richards Not the most objective one, but lots of first-hand knowledge and is not only based on Charone's own experiences with Keith (and Anita) but also interviews with key persons in his life up to late 70s
- Stanley Booth: Dance with the Devil Again, first-hand experiences, plus good rhythm in the text. Edit: I realized this book is probably now known as "The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones", but "Dance with the Devil" was the original title. BTW, after this, Booth's Keith "bio" was a major disappointment
- Andrew Loog Oldham: Stoned I know this divides opinions very much, but I liked the surreal style, it fits Oldham & Stones
- Marianne Faithfull: Faithfull Very interesting, though not probably 100 % accurate:-)
- David Dalton: The Rolling Stones, First 20 Years Mainly for nostalgic reasons: it included full texts&pictures of old (mainly 70s) interviews and articles that were very hard to find in pre-internet times
Bubbling under: Philip Norman's book.I think he did a much better job with the Stones than with the Beatles (including the massive Lennon biography, which was a real disappointment). Perhaps this is because because Norman doesn't seem to really care about the Stones, so the writing is more objective than in those Beatles books.

Honestman, you wouldn't happen to know which French book this photo is from, would you? It's by Dominique Tarlé, obviously, but I just don't know which book - it wasn't "Exile" though.
Marlon & Anita
Could it be this book, by chance?

First of all congrats for your labor of love with your Anita Site
I couldn't answer yet, cos 'when I click on your link it's the whole page that I see, not only a picture.
For Dominique TARLE, beside EXILE, I've mentionned this in another thread some month ago, there's a not well known book (Outside FRANCE) which is called
Rock GENIUS, it was his very first book and I'm proud to own a signed copy of it.
I will post the cover later tomorrow.
Some other pictures are on various French Magazines , the main ones are BEST and the early ROCK'n'FOLK, and maybe I don't recall them all EXTRA.
Just let me know which one exactly , feel free to post it here and I'll try to give you an answer. I have to check too ,in the book you've mentionned cos' there are some of them in it.
Best

let's not forget Chet Flippo's great book ! On the Road with the Rolling Stones
Flippo's impressions/reactions are way different from Stanley Booth's, and cover a different time period,
but both cats were there, and they get what the Stones are about, and they can both write just like ringing a bell
