5.0 out of 5 stars
WHEN is some smart publisher going to reissue this title?!,
By L Goodman-Malamuth "Leslie Goodman-Malamuth" (Washington, D.C.) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Beach Boys (Hardcover)
Arguably the best book on the Beach Boys ever written. I lucked into copies of both the 1978 and the updated 1985 editions at a lower price, and find them an invaluable, insightful, and empathetic look at "America's band." David Leaf is a gifted and sensitive writer. If a used copy of his book is overly budget-busting, settle for "The Nearest Faraway Place," by the late great Timothy White. This book presents a fine overview of the migration to Southern California (including the Wilson brothers' grandparents), and how that generation's hopes and dreams helped mold their grandchildren's music. That said, David Leaf's book is the real deal. Keep an eye out for it if you have any interest at all in the Beach Boys.

1985 edition expands on 1978 edition.,
By Greenlight (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beach Boys (ISBN:0894714120) (Hardcover)
I'm looking at my 1985 edition, and I see that Leaf included 16 new pages of research compared to the 1978 edition. 192-207 was added for 1985.
