James W Polichak said Much More than Encyclopedic, This Is A Complex Structured Reference Guide When Used Right. As so many others have said, this is a wonderful reference book, and wonderful for that purpose.But there is another book that is obscured by the focus and format of the book: a reference biography, a strange creature, one eagerly sought by some but rarely found.The main focus of this encyclopedia are the songs.

This forms the bulk of the work, and is the first section. The presentation is alphabetical. This has its advantages and its d. The real deal for the true fan(atic) If you consider yourself a true acolyte of all things Bowie, and require a complete reference and analysis on the major aspects of his career, this is for you.You will never get tired of this book. It's about 2" thick and crammed with detailed histories and analyses of albums, songs, tours, filmography, and other things like art work and Internet info.I've closely followed his entire career from early bands in London, all the way thru to his impeccably planned final exit. The world has lost a treasure, but he left us so many wonderful things, and this book is a trove of information and insights on them all.Be warned: there are no. June said A glimpse into the creative process of an icon. I have been a fan of David Bowie's since the '70s and while I love his work, I did not really know many of the musical and creative backstories. This book has become a constant for me lately since Bowie's passing, to discover inspirations and details of music I have loved for so long. It's a wonderful tribute to an artistic icon.
