    So I've Amazon-ed Marc Eliot's To The Limit in the expectation of it being here early next week. According to the dispatch email they sent me yesterday (Tuesday) it should be here by Thursday. I wouldn't mind usually, but my last exam's on Friday morning and I know if I get the book before then I'll be reading that and not exam notes

    To the Limit actually came on Wednesday! Haven't dared to look at it too much yet but I've had a few quick glances: I don't think it'll tell me anything new about their songs but it should offer a lot of insight into the behind the scenes events, a lot like HOTE. Safe to say I have already gathered Don Henley don't care too much for it

    Read the book by Ben Fong Torres. It was good because there are alot of pictures, especially of Randy! Anyway, the History of the Eagles has almost all the same info as the book, so if you've seen History CD and don't want to see the pic's I wouldn't waste $$ on the book.

    It's funny...I'm in one fandom where there are literally dozens of books (Pink Floyd, and I own over twenty books on them myself) and another with very few (Yes), same as with the Eagles, and it's made me very picky - that and my job as a researcher - good rock bios are hard to come by; a great book for me always has a good number of primary sources and lots of photos.

    if I could only stop my mind...

    thanks so much luvrandy

    I'm reading Elliot's book at the moment and somebody here said there are mistakes in it and I'm wondering what I should and should not believe, for example the writing credits oh The Long Run, the book says Shmit, Henley, Frey but I don't recall seeing Timothy credited for that song anywhere else anyway, enjoying the book

    The sleeve in my The Long Run cd says written by Don H & Glenn.
