  1. blair says:

    i would love to read up on bowie and was curious, is there one particular bowie book you would recommend above the others?

  2. Aw jeez, it’s been a while since I read these, but I remember thinking the Sandford was a fine, relatively concise biography. If you can snag a copy of Bowiestyle, which is mostly a photo book but has tons of entertainingly written biographical and background material, by all means grab it.

    There may be more recent releases than these, so keep your eyes peeled.
