If you're like me, you're a huge Pink Floyd fan. I've already read the major biographies, so I checked out this book. What a book it is? It offers articles written about the band and their members from the beginning to now. It's fun to read the older articles and agree or disagree with the writers. There's also an interesting section with quotes and reviews on every Pink Floyd or member solo song through 1994. An excellent book.

I am a pink floyd lover. However, i did not know much about the band's history. I have read this book and at times it can be confusing. The dates constatnly junp around and this can confuse you. I also have read a "Saucerful of Secrets." Unfortunatly i read this after this book. I recommend reading "Saucerfull" before this book. It gives you more of a chronological history of the band. Bruno's book is everything written about pink floyd gathered into on big scrap book. Interesting but confusing.
