 What's it worth to you? January 17, 2010
Keith W. Jones
I read this book in high school in the mid eighties, having been a fan since I was about nine years old.After seeing the prices wanted, I wonder if I would pay that amount.You have to be a hard core Alice fan , and if you are it may be worth it! It gave me a glimpse into the inner workings of my favorite showman at that time. Great stories that will make you laugh and cringe! P.S., the prices are steep because it's an out of print book that probably has only a handful of readable copies left in the world, and it probably won't get a re-print.Remember the Coop!

I've never read this book. At the prices being asked, I wouldn't buy it if Alice Cooper himself delivered to my house. What gives sellers?

I remember actually having a copy of this book that I bought a year after it came out in a Waldon's book store.Oh,it makes for good reading and all.But take it from me,DON'T even think about spending over,say $50 for this book.Simply because you might end up regretting it.Talk about regret:I know for a fact I don't have my copy anymore.'Me,Alice...' features plenty of inside info,specially on the band's early days of survival and all.Obviously,this book is in much need of being reprinted.Hint:maybe have a limited 'live' vintage CD of one of the band's early gigs,that has never been available elsewhere come with the book.Dealers THEN could likely ask a higher price for it.

For the price that people are charging for a used version of the book, you might want to see if you can borrow it before you plunk down the cash.
The book was written when Cooper was in his late 20's. There's a lot of declarations he makes in the book that probably were absolutely true when he was that age, but obviously are not now. Like telling us that in his lifestyle, he finds three things useless. Marrage, funerals, and underwear. Well, he's married with kids now. He's been to at least one funeral, and...well, we'll just let the underwear remain one of life's mysteries. It's rather interesting to see how we change in our values and opinions as we get older, and how no one is immune to change. We have a tendency to think that celebrities somehow get frozen in time and will be the same person at 40 as they were at 20.
The book is not for the faint of heart, but then again, Alice Cooper fans are known for not being faint hearted anyway. The general tone of the book makes me feel like I happened to get stuck in a broken elevator with the man, and just to pass the time, we're telling each other our life stories. It's got that casual semi-friendly feeling to it. A few times though, had I been on the elevator, hearing the life story, I would have probably cracked up and said, "Wow, TMI!" You will not look at jelly donuts again without either cringing or laughing.
If you're an Alice Cooper fan, you will want to read this book. You'll probably want to own it, although for the price, it might be too steep.

Not only do I have this book, but it is autographed by Alice himself as well as Shep Gordon. I would not let mine go for $20K. If you get your hands on this book, don't let go!!!!
