From Library Journal
Despite some drawbacks, the 1982 edition of this book was considered "essential to rock reference collections" (LJ 10/1/82). The 1996 edition is equally well produced, melding the author's generally stringent selection criteria with a well-written text. There is no attempt to be all-encompassing; rather, Helander focuses on the most innovative, avant-garde, and influential individuals?no Pat Boone or Fabian here, folks. Entries are cogently written and never effusive, with a comprehensive discography included for each. When one is tempted to question an entry (e.g., ABBA), Helander successfully defends its inclusion (if not necessarily the music itself). The A-Z format is buttressed by excellent indexing, with all entries boldfaced. While far more formal, not as much fun, and a heck of a lot pricier than the DK Encyclopedia of Rock Stars (LJ 2/1/97), this rock music reference tool belongs in every library that can afford it.?David M.

Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages.
