The Ritchie Blackmore Unauthorised Biography
Does anyone else have this book yet and if so can you give some sort of review?
I picked it up this morning but it will take me a week or two to get through it.

Just for you, Marty...er, TrollBlobby...er, Speedy...er, Froppi - oh, whomeverthehell you are at the moment you read this, I've moved this thread/topic to the "Reviews" forum in anticipation of someone supplying you with the review you so politely requested.

The fact that is unauthorised means it will be good, especially as it is written by an expert on the subject.
Besides, if you wrote and published a book, surely you wanted something in return, ie money?

Re: The Ritchie Blackmore Unauthorised Biography
I have it and read it as well.
It is a really good, obective and honest insightin the life of Richie.
Although not many things were in the book were new to me (Hey, call me a freak) it was still good to have all the informatiuon in one book.
The discography/filmography in the back is very detailed too and shows how much work the man has done in his 46! years as a musician..
