Hi Everyone!

I am looking into buying one of these books and need advice. I have Bill Wymans book and also A Life on the Road. What should I get and what has different material inside.

- The TASCHEN book, around 100 Euro
- According to the Rolling Stones, on sale
- 50, published by Prestel (only in German?), on sale // 50 on amazon

Thanks
schwonek

Here's the original english edition (by Thames & Hudson) as Kindle version, readable via the Kindle App on Windows, Android and iPad.

The original english edition as printed version: [www.amazon.de] .

Regarding the advice:

I would wait with the 'Taschen' book because it ends with 2005 and the Stones are still active. The 'According to ...' book might be interesting from a historical perspective and was available in the Stones' Bravado Store for only 5 US-$ at the clearance sale, end of 2014. If a eBook is sufficient, for the price of 11€ the '50' book is recommendable.

My favorite of the lot is 50, because of the great pictures. There are some good shots from recent tours, something missing in other books. If you're looking for literature then "according to" might be for you. Good luck with your search.

Or you could instead get the beautiful TASCHEN book on the making of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. I just got my copy and it is great.
