i don't usually do this, not having finished the book, but was just checking to see what amazon's price was on this one... just paid $22 at barnes and noble, doh! anyway, this book is really good so far, haven't been able to put it down. i have been intrigued by MP for as long as i've known about him, but info on him is scarce and dubious. until now... mr.doherty writes a well thought out, biography (so far) and i can only imagine how difficult this story was to research, so kudos to you sean! great photos too.
