Rocket Man: Elton John from A-Z

Dates,songs,eras in Elton's career;it's all here.The author who did research on this book,Claude Bernardin,did an outstanding job.His research was relentless.I prefer this book to many others because it is an encyclopedia type book and facts are easily found.Alot of information on unreleased songs, which is my favorite part of the book.I recommend this book to all Elton John enthusiasts. It is a book you must have in your library if you are a die hard Elton John fan.

Mr.Bernardin has shared his wealth of knowledge on the subject of Elton John in a clear, concise and enjoyable format. I highly recommend the book to anyone who wants to know the all of Elton.

I don't know whether there is copyright over a book "format", but I really think "...from A to Z" should become a book series, like "The Complete Guide to the Music of..." This is easily the best reference book ever published about a single artist. It is divided in three parts: the "A-Z" itself (the entries are quite informative and comprehensive), albums (in-depth reviews and reference to alternate versions of songs) and songs (where they can be found in Elton's discography). If only all reference books were like this... That's why I suggest that this format become a series. What about "David Bowie from A-Z"?

I'm a big Elton fan, and this book is the best of those focusing on Elton's music and performances. The behind-the-scenes stories are entertaining, and the research is impressive
