one of my faves along with "Not Fade Away - The Rolling Stones Collection" by Geoffrey Giuliano, i like to spread them out on the floor as i play officials & bootlegs from the tours, also "A Life On The Road" has some brilliant pictures and set design details.

Pick it up and see how long it takes you to find out who the collection he writes about actually belongs to! The owner of all that stuff was not treated at all well by Mr G.

Funny you brought this up. I picked up a copy at a used book store recently for $7.50 USD. I'd read it some years back but now I keep it in the bathroom and read a few pages at a time periodically. You get more of a feel what was going on behind the scenes. And there are little hints dropped as to what was happening with Brian. Bill and Brian were tight for some time, often room mates on the road, chasing birds together. Then something happened, but we don't know what. It seemed Bill & Charlie got tight after that, and the whole band distanced itself ever further from Brian.
Bill doesn't talk much about his bass playing. I would love to hear more, whether he had bass influences, or where he came up with certain things. It's a much better coffee table books than The Rolling Stones 50, or According To the Rolling Stones, neither of which have much gravitas beyond, "Oh, look. It's those hounds tooth jackets we all wore. Terrible, really."

From what I remember, no, I seem to recall that it as his own collection (Ironically I live in the UK now but have the book back in Chile, so I cannot check it). He was also featured prominently in the short-lived Encore magazine, which ran for very few issues in 1995. Does Chris Eborn post here?

This is one of the very few Stones' books that I have in Italian.
The translation is so bad that it cancels any possibility to enjoy the read.
Sooner or later I will have to buy the English version.
Another thing I don't like is the layout of the pages (too confused) and the low quality of the photos (again, low quality on the Italian version. Don't know the others).

Mr Guiliano's book is one of my least favourite books.

I don't want BV to ban me so I'll not write what I really think about Mr G.

Well very interesting, i noticed some inaccuracies, but the collection itself is pretty amazing.
