Yes, it's a real thing. Snagged myself a  hard copy on my way out of the local pharmacy. Talk about an impulse buy, LOL, but there was an entire display that made it utterly impossible to miss.

Haven't read much of it yet so I can't provide commentary or a review.

Just wanted other BB fans to be aware of it should they be interested in tracking down a copy. :)

Side question - In that famous early picture of the Boys holding a surfboard (as seen on the LIFE cover), Brian has his hair bleached blonde. I guess he was trying to look like a surfer, I believe that's the consensus?

Curious if anybody knows how long that era lasted with Brian bleaching his hair? And for what timeframe exactly?
I also wonder if it was his idea or perhaps Murry or somebody else suggested it for marketing purposes.

Read it. Well-researched. No new info. Probably not worth $15.
