Some good points, but...,

This review is from: Driving In Diverse: A Collective Profile of Jethro Tull (Paperback)
On the plus side, this book succeeds at being distinct from other Tull books in certain respects. For example, a chapter is devoted to fairly long interviews with various (mostly past) Tull members. The photo gallery was also replete with pictures I have not seen. Unfortunately, the writing is somewhat amateurish and the editing/proofreading is even worse. In my first ten minutes or so I identified over 20 typographical errors and mistakes in grammar. An example is the author's CONSTANT misuse of the contraction "it's" in place of the possessive "its". Overall, I would not recommend it.

Driving in Diverse Mild !,
By Michael L. Lalli (Maynard, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Driving In Diverse: A Collective Profile of Jethro Tull (Paperback)
The book Driving in Diverse would serve well for newer fans of Jethro Tull. Barbara Espinosa is enthusiastic in her collection of facts, tidbits and interviews regarding all things Tull! I would rate Greg Russo's Jethro Tull Reference Manual a more complete reading of Jethro Tull and Dave Rees, Minstrels in the Gallery a close second. Driving Diverse is a good companion to the Jethro Tull stories in print.

Ian Anderson review,
By
This review is from: Driving In Diverse: A Collective Profile of Jethro Tull (Paperback)
"Barbara Espinoza wrote to me to ask for interviews and contacts for a proposed book. She managed the unthinkable: an interview with the reclusive hermit, Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond! Jeffrey offered up some Driving In Diverse: A Collective Profile Espinoza Driving in Diverse thoughts on his life and work, which he wouldn't ordinarily share with me - and I see him every few months for lunch or dinner. What a treat to see this in print. He probably made most of it up `though.
Barbara needs a little help on the proof-reading front - a lot of typos and grammatical no-no's here, but still a good read. Published in 1999, her book is curiously named "Driving In Diverse." -IAN ANDERSON
