so is the same content written twice on each page? Once in German and once in English? There's no content missing from either language? Meaning nothing written exclusively in one but not the other?

If the entire book is written like on page 245 (see the link) then it's exactly the same content (German & English) and no content is missing from either language.

are you in the us?
if so ask if your library is part of the inter library loan program
because they just accepted my request and are shipping the book to my local library from a library somewhere in the us
and if it works for me it might work for you

Which Books?...
Phelge's, Sam Cutler's, Bill German's are all imperative.
Andrew Loog Oldham's books are worthy.
Obviously Bill Wyman's. And if you take it with a pinch of salt and you can manage to penetrate the curious form of english in which it's written, Keith's book.
For reference, Martin Elliott's volumes.
Visually an unequalled record (no pun intended) of the early days is Gus Coral's book "The Rolling Stones : Black and white blues, 1963" See [www.abebooks.com] for details.

The best one is yet to be mentioned: «Phelge's Stones»!
A well-written tale from a guy who was there from the beginning.

I just finished the first two books by Andrew Oldham, Stoned and 2Stoned. I have a hefty Rolling Stones library, but somehow with these two books I just never got around to reading them. While listening to some old Stones vinyl a few weeks ago, and reading the back cover notes by Andrew, it occurred to me that he wrote these two books and that I MUST finally pursue them. The past 12 days I poured ravenously over both books, and tightened up the seat belt for what developed into quite a wild ride. What a life that guy has led! For better or worse as to how he got there, Andrew was a genius, an original, and he started figuring it out at a ridiculously young age. He had quite a story to tell. Yes, some of the many anecdotes one can speed read through or simply skip as I found it of little interest, but Andrew's story was/is amazing. Draining and redundant in the drugged up and heavy drinking lifestyle he adopted, the stories are nonetheless compelling. How did that guy survive to tell his story, one wonders while reading through the self-destructive carnage? Somehow, miraculously he made it through to a different and satisfying phase in life. Andrew was always a clever wordsmith.
If you haven't read these books, as a Stones fan it makes for essential reading. Play those early albums through BtB for embellishment.

I stumbled accross his books when going trough Amazon. I put them in my basket, and then removed them again. I was just wondering how much it is about the Stones (of course, I know his connection to the Stones)?
