Customer Reviews

Perfect!
This is the perfect gift for any Doors fan. Filled with wonderful pictures and hands-on reproductions, you can even read one of his first report cards! Also it comes with a CD of Jim speaking with Salli Stevenson for Circus Magazine and you get to hear Jim read one of his poems. If you've read any of the other books about Jim, you won't find any new information here, but the reproductions and CD are alone make it worth the price.

One fine scrapbook

Bought this excellent tribute and confirmation of Morrisons greatness on a trip to the US in order to watch Steppenwolf's farewell concert at Ripken Stadium, Aberdeen, Maryland, on the 6th. of october 2007. After reading a lot of fine books (and a few not-so-fine) on Morrison and the Doors, I decided to cough up with 40 bucks at Brothers Bookshop on 7th. Avenue in New York to see what this was about. It's an excellent tribute to Morrison the artist and musician with many interesting documents, drawings and handbills etc. It's a book you easily can read in a few hours, but spend countless hours dwelling over the enclosed material. After this masterpiece and The Doors own vey fine book (with Ben Fong-Torres), I guess every stone now is turned on the life and times of Jimbo, so let him rest in peace at the Père Lachaise and let us forever relive his legacy listening to the Doors excellent back catalouge.

a gift purchase
I bought this book for my 19 year old son, who has "discovered" Jim and the DOORS, he has read through the entire book in two days and loves it. I have not gone through the book, I grew up with it all, but I am sure it is a good read for fans, new and old.
