You can find just about anything you want here.

Enjoy!!

I recently picked up a BB book on ebay for $5. "The Authorized Biography of The Beach Boys" by Byron Theiss. It's from the late 70's & actually has a fair bit of information about SMiLE. I'm considering scanning the relevant pages & sharing them here. That's not a breach for board rules is it??

You're asking the wrong person about that, babe. I really don't know.

I just got the book by Kingsley Abbott Back to the Beach. Yesterday I got AGD's Guide to the ...... and the one by Paul Williams--How Deep is the Ocean???   Alibris is a great place as well.

Did you hear about the benfit for Paul Williams?Huh

The 1st printing of that book (white cover) had interesting artwork that was omitted from the considerably thinner reprint (yellow). Just FYI.

More of a general question Donnak - but thanks anyway. Looks like you've got some reading to do!
Excuse my ignorance - but who is Paul Williams?

Thats the one - I've got the 1st edition. I was pretty happy, I just bought it cause it was cheap.

He's the author of the book "How Deep is the Ocean?" as well as many other books. But he is perhaps best known as the founder of Crawdaddy. I THINK he has Alzheimer's disease or something like that.

Ah, ok. That's bad news. I wish him well.

He was nice enough to send me a letter when I wrote him. It is too bad, but I think it is delayed  brain damage from a motorcycle accident.

BTW I like the Priess book a lot as I posted on your thread about it. He died in a car crash a few years ago and was also kind when I contacted him.
