....poorly written re-hash of "Rock's Mystical Lady". This book was so unnecessary!!! If you are a Stevie Nicks fan, you could do your own research on the web and get more information yourself! Don't bother reading this book. As for the pictures....they are all black and white...not that great...some are interesting. If Wincentsten was aiming to do a photo book on Stevie, he should have marketed it as such and gone all out with color photos, ect. He should definitely give up trying to "write" about her. This is info my 10 yr old sister could find online.

I bought this book thinking it was going to be a biography on Stevie. When I got it I found it to be a thin book with about 90% pictures. The man talked a bit about how he tried to get her to authorize it in the beginning. Then it was all black and white picutes. A few are kinda nice but most are just from a concert taken and they aren't real nice depictions of her. Toward the end he blabbers on about some other artists. Some Tori Amos lady and some other people. I can learn more about Stevie from reading articles free off the internet. I think it was a waste of money (...) on some black and white pictues that I could find better ones free off the internet. Don't waste your money on this book. It teaches you nothing about Stevie. I wish someone would just write a book about her. Like mabye Stevie should do one. She's supposed to but it says it was never published. The moral: don't bother. (...) I could have gotton that Street Angel cd I need!

The art work was beautiful, and the some of the pictures I had not seen before.They depicted a beautifully honest, natural Stevie. Such a warm,inviting smile. It is a shame that they were wasted within those words. If you are interested in the "quality", "truth-telling" writings of The Star and The National Inquirer this is the choice novella for you at an inflated price. To truly know Stevie is to listen to her, it's just a feeling. The feeling remains even after the glitter fades.

This book is a great disappointment.

The only information within this book are various newspaper and magazine articles that the author mentions. Anyone, I think, could have written this book. All he did was quote several PREVIOUSLY WRITTEN articles and give his own opinions. Over half the book consists of photos of Stevie (most of which are NOT very good at all). There is even full section of the book about OTHER artists that he seems to think are similar to Stevie. Very far off, IMO.

Also, the book is written very poorly. Simply read the excpert Amazon provides and see what I mean. In reading this, you will also notice that the author flat out tells you that Stevie, her management, even her parents, all stated (on numerous occasions) that they wanted nothing to do with the making of this book.

Kinda pathetic, I think.

I did not like this book because all's the author did was take quotes from other books or magizines and make them into a book! The only thing I enjoyed was the pics of Stevie! The pics were great! No wonder Stevie did not help, the book was terrible. The only reason I got it was tosee the great pics, but they too are weird! they are all in black and white and the author does not even give a caption! So save your bucks if your looing for something to read, if alls you want is unexplainable pictures this is your book!

No wonder Stevie Nicks wouldn't help with this work! It has very little value: There's the tiniest of chances that one of his multitude of pictures contains a caption; and, if that's not 14pt type on the entire five pages of text in this book ... I'm the pope. A ridiculous waste of $12.00. Recommendation: Run, don't walk away from this turkey.

This is simply a "fluffy" Stevie Nicks picture book, full of cute pictures of her I'd never seen before. That's really all the value this book has. If you know that and don't expect anything else, grab it! I've already got a bunch of Fleetwood Mac books. I figure a cute little book full of Stevie Pictures isn't going to hurt. The art by Johanna Pieterman (she does wonderful drawings) is another reason I got this book. I love Johanna's work.

The best thing about this book is the photos; and that's about it. The text is boring and uniformative, and the type is huge and there's almost as many advertisements in it as there is text about Stevie. Definately a good buy to have the photos, but that is it.

this book seemed down on stevie mostly pictures and not much new info or history i didn' enjoy it at all.

The author strikes me as an amateur,but I was looking for old photos and thats what I got,so thats cool.I will probaly buy Rocks Mystery Lady,cos I'm a schmuck!
