 Impressive! June 21, 2002

I was very impressed with the intensity of the research and detail of this book. The author takes you chronologically through Alice's career, focussing on recordings, tours, film and television and books. He goes bit by bit, album by album, single by single, and fills each entry with loads of detail. Minutiae including who played what, on which song, how the song did on the charts, variation in design, dates, formats, catalogue numbers, trivia-pretty much everything I wanted to know about Alice's output from 1964 to 1998. The book is split into five periods: 1964-74, 1975-79, 1980-82, 1984-1990, and 1991-1998. It is chock full of photos (many of which I had never seen before) both in black and white and in color and information (much of which I didn't know). It is a fascinating read for the Alice Cooper fan, and written so it can be read like a book (I read it cover to cover the first day I got it), or used as a reference guide (I have referred to it many times since). I can't recommend it enough for anyone who has questions about Alice or his music. This book answers it all.

this book is very well done.the focus is on tour dates,where he played,what city,etc. in addition,it has some text about who the band members were,tv shows and special events,bootlegs,and much more.it is not a dedicated history to the man--but more a sleek year by year diary from the 70s to the 90s--in fact,reading this really makes you want to see alice live!i found it to be concise and a pleasure to read.very well researched!
everything alice related is covered! A complete guide! July 6, 1999

this collectors guide is ideal for the novice or advanced Alice fan. Everything is here including info about bootlegs and other unofficial stuff. Also included is tour info, details of AC recordings, and AC on film and video. This is not a price guide, rather a valuable reference. Softback, 300 pages including many color and rare photos.
