Graphics artists' delight in 1992!

Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2005

I try to ignore the strange alliteration of this book title, while flipping through the image-packed pages with a sometime scrapbook feel to it. This is a visual book, pure and simple. This paperback, coffeebook-table-sized book on nice quality slick paper, is a delight in terms of visual gimickry using the Monkees themselves as the primary subject; this book is really for the hard core Monkee fans who are the completists in terms of their Monkees book collections.

My biggest complaint about the book is throughout it, the text is somewhat scattered and hard to read becuase of the bright colors on the layout and the montage of graphics. The graphics artists really show off their stuff using Photoshop and other software on their Macs, but since 1992, graphics arts has come a very long way so some of the work seems rather dated and perhaps, odd to the user who is accustomed to current graphics arts in the early 21st century.

If you are geared toward creative artistic visuals and distortions of the Monkees faces, such as in caricatures, it is for you. There are also some rare pictures I have not see elsewhere, even online. The date of the pictures of the Monkees, their friends and family range from the 60s to the late 80s.

I would rate this book as very strange in visual content overall, but definitely for the fan at heart. You do get some good pictures from Davy's personal photo collection, nice family pictures of his daughters, for example. I think Davy Jones still sells this book on his website for a decent price. Go for it if you are big fan, otherwise, I would recommend other books, such as Micky Dolenz' biography.

Just for your info about my ratingL I am ranking it with 2 stars because there are duplicate reviews here with a higher rating. I think 3 stars is probably fair enough.

A Book for Hardcore Fans

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2005

Devoted Monkees fans will love this book to relive the Monkees fun of the 80s. I got it years after it was published from a friend and reading it, I found myself reminiscing about 1986 and all the fun I had as a young fan. The best part of the book was the surprise I got seeing a photo of *myself* in it in the fans pages!! So if you went to Davy's concerts in the 80s, you too might be in the book. The book is great for a trip down memory lane, however it really is overly Photo-Shopped and artistically very out of date--but still it's fun.

'Mutant Monkees' is great!

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 1999

I helped do some of the photo/color designs that are in the book, so what can I say, but I love it! It is a very good book, regardless of me. Lots of great photos, designs, comments by Davy and memories. It's a must for any Monkees fan's library.
