I missed this somehow:

Anyone able to comment?  Is it well-done? A must-have? Looks very interesting...

I probably have most of the stuff but it looks cool. I ordered it just now through Amazon.

Thanks for posting that. I hadn't heard of it. I'll wait for a few reviews, but it  might be well worth purchasing.

Looks good, though I wonder what the interviews with Brian consist of.
"Yes."
"No."
"Sure, okay."

Well I hope there are a few I haven't seen at least.

It is a compilation of interviews that were published in the US, England and, possibly, Australia (I am out of town and do not have my copy with me to verify) -- several were new to me. I am only half way through but the reading (and rereading) experience is like reliving life in Beach Boys Nation in the 60's and 70's. Contemporaneous dialog about the significance of Pet Sounds, conjecture about SMiLE (its meaning and anticipated  future release), analysis of the Wild Honey album (both its music and motivation), plus comments from the BBs (such as Mike declaring he would never think of recording a solo album) make this much more than a stroll down memory lane. I especially enjoyed the complete interview from which came Tony Asher's "musical genius, amateur human being" quote (several new-to-me  and surprising statements about his working relationship with Brian).

I was hoping for visuals of the original publications but, other than the cover, no reproductions or photos.

Looking forward to the second half.
