Re: Another new Eagles book: "Taking It to the Limit" by Fong-Torres
For the newbies among us (me included), I have a question for the book collectors. Which Eagles books would you recommend most highly and which would you say "Don't bother?" I want to pick up a couple of these books, but am not sure which ones are worth my limited time?

Please note that my recommendations are based more on personal prejudice than anything else. I don't really consider any of these books to be particularly well written, so I can't recommend them on that basis.
I recommend Laura Jackson's The Eagles: Flying High.
I do not recommend Marc Shapiro's The Long Run because it is basically a rehash of interviews & press articles.
I personally do not recommend Marc Elliot's To The Limit. The entire book is told from an extreme, pro Don Henley slant and Glenn Frey is virtually ignored as a creative force. I have to be honest here and say that is why the book has no credibility for me; I should also say that it was written with Henley's cooperation.

Windeagle - Here is a link to another thread where there is some discussion about some other books about the band or at least, where they get some major ink.

My personal favorite is "You'll Never Make Love In This Town Again". :wink:
