5/5 It's awfully considerate of you for...
  by M. D. Van Huss (ATL)
...Letting me make clear, my thoughts of the book aforementioned here.

I'm a huge fan of Pink Floyd, and growing up was never introduced to the work prior to Dark Side of the Moon, so naturally until my adult years, I never knew who he was. Which saddens me greatly, because from what I've learned over a course of time, as I've delved into the world that is Syd (or Roger if you'd prefer; he probably would) he was an amazing man that so many people will fail to see, since they've got it painted in their heads he was a druggie who could write and carry a tune.

This book, and many others like it, helps dispel that notion, and give the readers and fan's (both old and new alike) a different aspect of him to take into consideration.

The photographs are beautifully done, and capture moments that were quite fleeting in their intimacy. I highly recommend it, whether you've seen the photos online or elsewhere already; it makes for an excellent addition to any collection. It brings me great joy and sadness whenever I look through my copy. I wish I knew him as a person, I bet he would've made for excellent company.


5/5 An excellent book on Syd - photos and text
  by Joseph Morris (Elmwood Park, NJ)
I think its a good read - AND the photos are wonderful

I don't know if the text is the same as the earlier Genesis publication of Mick's, but I love the pictures in this book, and I like Mick talking about Syd, remembering his smile (and pointing out to specific photos wherein the madcap can be seen smiling!)

A beautiful book of photos, nice to remember Syd before the fall (before gaining weight, shaving his eyebrows and being memorialized in Rogers The Wall!)

5/5 It's about time
  by Robert Work
Too bad for the bitter little monkey reviewer above who paid $400.00 for the 2002 edition of this book, but an affordable version was likely, and here it is! Clearly the best visual representation of the latter part of Syd's brief career.
