This booklet really gives Floyd fans with a musical background a detailed inventory of what went into each song. What I found to be most interesting and useful as an aspiring musician myself was the technical accuracy of the equipment used on the recent, Division Bell. Occasionally, the information on the effects used by Gilmour for his solos in Another Brick in the Wall pt2, Comfortably Numb, Time and Shine on...were very helpful.

This book delved into the interpreted meanings of some songs but was not very in-depth and quite short. Nothing from the "Pulse" tour was included and that was disappointing because I thought the band really jelled for this venture. I formed an impression, after reading this book, that Roger Waters, though extremely talented, has a bit of a chip on his shoulder that I find sad.

As far as I remember I've read this book twice. I like it because in Russia, where I'm living, there's not much interesting literature about Pink Floyd, because as far as I now there are not many Pink Floyd fans there. So when I saw this book last year I've bought it immediately. It's cool. I like it.
