5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bluesman, Great Book, Great Editing, February 11, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The B. B. King Companion (Paperback)
This book is money well spent, especially if you are a fan of BB King or the blues. Not only is it well-written, but the selective editing of Anson Pope keeps the focus concise and delightful. One of the best music books I've read in a long time.
