This book does not have any new pictures of Jim Morisson. It is more like a scrap book of morisson pictures, concert posters etc.. Overall there are other better books to buy before getting this one. One I would recommend would be Jim Morrison:My Eyes Have Seen You by Jerry Prochnicky & Joe Russo. Ofcourse there are others too.

Okay, it was the 70's, so maybe the newsprint-quality photos are all the Wicentsens had to work with. The ultimate offense of this book are the mooning, pathetic, high-school quality poems that accompany the muddy photographs. And these are not Jim Morrison's mooning, pathetic poems (which are execrable enough in their own right) but the poems of...? I have no idea who. Perhaps the Wicentsens have neices or teach high school writing classes. This book is not worth the $8.95, and Half-Price Books only gave me 50 cents for it, even though I only looked through it once. I can't believe these people had the gall to present this book as an attempt to jump on the Morrison Death Cult bandwagon. Want gorgeous Morrison photos? Try Dark Star.

Random poems by god knows who, all the photos look like they are just photo copy's & one is shown over & over in the book with different color hues. No new photos, looks like he went through the internet, printed random pic's and put them in a book.
I think this is more of a money grab/scam not a tribute to Jim.

I am a serious fan of The Doors and, when I saw the cover photo of Jim Morrison, I knew I had to get this book---which was the first place I had ever seen it. I was not disappointed and highly recommend Images of JM for anyone who is passionate about the music and history of The Doors.

This book contains not only pictures of Jim Morrison but also rare interviews. This is a totally unbiased book on the part of the author and is critical in the objective understanding of the man behind the myth. Out of all related books I rate this one by far as the best.
