TheDroid 17th Apr 2021		Book Various Authors - All The Songs (2016)	Added first edition images that differ from JPGR&B's 2016 edition images. Front cover does not have the "blurb" from People, back hardback and dust jacket have "Preface by Patti Smith" notation rather than the three reviews, and publication page for 2013 edition. Should publication date be changed?

TheDroid 22nd Aug 2019		Book Tom Hanks - Uncommon Type (2017)	My copy is a fourth printing from November 2017.
TheDroid 4th Mar 2019		Book John G. Lambert - USS Independence CVL-22 (2015)	Comprehensive history of The "Mighty-I", USS Independence" and her storied career in WWII. My father served aboard this ship from its' launch until its' fate as a target ship for atomic weapon testing at Bikini Atoll in 1946.
TheDroid 20th Sep 2017		Book Dashiell Hammett - The Red Brain (1965)	Authors first name is spelled Dashiell.
TheDroid 17th Nov 2015		Book Henry Edwards - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)	Missing front cover.
TheDroid 17th Nov 2015		Book Michael Gross - Robert Plant (1975)	Front cover appears to have taken a hike after 40 years on the bookshelf!
TheDroid 17th Nov 2015		Book Jann Wenner - Lennon Remembers (1980)	Missing front cover.
TheDroid 16th Nov 2015		Book A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda - Search For Liberation (1981)	There was a time when I would pick up anything that had an image of The Beatles or one of them if I could get it "on the cheap". (I know, I know. A sickness!) I must admit, I have never tried to read this.
TheDroid 16th Nov 2015		Book Mark Shipper - Paperback Writer (1980)	What had I inadvertantly typed?
TheDroid 12th Nov 2015		Book Various Authors - Me, The Mob, And The Music (2010)	A great read with insight and stories about the shadier dealings that can go on in the music business. This could make a great movie someday.
TheDroid 11th Nov 2015		Book John Einarson - American Woman (1995)	Still the definitive book on The Guess Who some twenty years after first publication by an author who is probably the most knowledgeable writer on Canadian artists, especially from the Winnipeg scene. The Guess Who are criminally underappreciated outside of Canada and are deserving of recognition by the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame for the body of their work.
TheDroid 10th Nov 2015		Book Various Authors - The Beatles Again? (1977)	Released two years after their first book all-together-now and intended to fill in the recorded works of The Beatles, both as a group and as individuals, that were issued in 1976 & 1977. Beyond that the bulk of the book is a concise overview of the Beatles career and an in-depth look at topics only lightly covered in their first book.
TheDroid 10th Nov 2015		Book Various Authors - All Together Now (1976)	This book was fantastic when it first appeared. Chock full of information in an easy to understand format, much of which was difficult to find at the time.
TheDroid 9th Nov 2015		Book Dave Thompson - Goldmine Standard Catalog Of American Records (2012)	I have found this to be a useful discography over the years. As for pricing, it gives a "ballpark" idea, but in no way should be considered authoritative at the time. Trends, supply and demand come and they go.
TheDroid 9th Nov 2015		Book Larry Kane - Ticket To Ride (2003)	The included CD can be seen TR-8298 here.
