2.0 out of 5 stars Pics and info galore, but nothing we dont know already!, February 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Radiohead: An Illustrated Biography (Paperback)

With its tight covers, every radiohead lover i know spent most of their time reading the book trying not to break the front page off! For those of you who don't know much about Radiohead or have any pictures etc. it's a good investment. However, most people who've bought one book, have bought them all and there's nothing much different here. All the pictures are taken from else where but for a few exceptions, and the information is already in circulation. This book does however have the BEST DISCOGRAPHY in the world though. Although this review is short and sweet and not too complementary, as a Radiohead fan i suggest you buy it just to add it to the collection. You should also buy it if you're interested in knowing more about the band and have no info. It is a good cross reference of all the info given in about 4 books, all put into one! we hope you are ok. thankyou for listening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great pictures... overall, a great book for the best band!!, April 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Radiohead: An Illustrated Biography (Paperback)

This book is full of wonderfull pictures of Radiohead. There were few mistakes in the actual text of the book. The only thing i really noticed that was a bit weird is the fact that when they were commenting on Radiohead in 1997 for example, they used older pictures instead of newer ones from 1997. but the pictures they used were great. The information wasn't too impressive. Most of it, i already knew. but any book about Radiohead is okay to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures & Quick History, December 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Radiohead: An Illustrated Biography (Paperback)

I bought this book mostly for the pictures, because I'm an artist and like to draw from photos. The book has lots of interesting photos, most of which I have never seen. The text isn't very in-depth [which it shouldn't be, since it's a thin book] but it gives a general history of the band. This isn't the book to get if you're looking for in-depth information, but it's great for Radiohead fanatics or for those who like to look at the band.
