Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
The latest set of Rolling Stone files, a sort of pop festschrift in honor of the Material Girl, is long on admiration for Ms. Ciccone's career management, long on buzzwords and catchphrases, and short on restraint, which may be the perfect rock 'n' roll marriage of style to subject matter. Anyway, the book collates the magazine's previously published record reviews, interviews, articles (including even tidbits from RS's "Random Notes" feature), and other things Madonnical. Fans of Madonna will be thrilled; others will at least be well served by the book's extensive videography and annotated discography (sadly--inexplicably? foolishly? bizarrely? cheaply?--no index seems to be forthcoming). An excellent companion to Encyclopedia Madonnica (1995), albeit not as excellent all by itself. Mike Tribby

The 3 best books about Madonna,
By A Customer
This review is from: Madonna: The Rolling Stone Files : The Ultimate Compendium of Interviews, Articles, Facts and Opinions from the Files of Rolling Stone (Paperback)
1. This one (Rolling Stone Files) 2. Encyclopedia Madonnica (Matthew Rettenmund) 3. Madonna Unauthorized (Christopher Anderson)With these 3 books you will learn more about Madonna then she even knows about herself. Mandatory for any fanatic who wants to know more about this show-biz lady, other then what they see and hear on radio, TV, onstage, and onscreen. Viva Ciccone!

Great if you love Madonna, as I do. Also, good if you are just interested in reading about her. She is fascinating....always has been, always will be. Madonna is a living legend! Also recommend, Encyclopedia Madonnica.....Madonna is absolutely fabulous!

This review is from: Madonna: The Rolling Stone Files : The Ultimate Compendium of Interviews, Articles, Facts and Opinions from the Files of Rolling Stone (Paperback)
Rolling Stone and Madonna?Why not.Her being in the cover on all reincartions deserves a compilation.Essential to all Madonnaics,here we could trace her humble begginings,rise to fame,the endless critical scrutiny...it's all here and more.Missing though are the tongue in cheek covers,picture,and one liners.(Perhaps,one need to buy RS coffee table book Covers,to totally enjoy the moment).Concise,right on track and enjoyable!!!
