Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Chris Epting has once again made a book about all the places behind the history. As with his three other book I've purchased ("James Dean, "M. Monroe" & "Elvis Presley") it's a collection of cool facts about the historical value of the PLACE, in addition to the event. If you are a person that looks at a physical location (like a liquor store on the corner of 7th & Main in L.A.) and says "Wow! That is where U2 made that iconic video 20 years ago), then all of Chris' books are for you. There is just something about staring at an otherwise boring street corner in San Franciso and realising that you're gazing at one of the most famous album covers of the past 50 years. In a time when our imaginations are used very little, this author has really given mine a workout.
