You´ll probably read it anyway, but it´s half-assed and the prose is plodding. That is all.

Did you read the entire book Proof?

Hey it´s already $11 at the second
hand bookstores! Sounds like the price
will keep dropping quite quickly.

Well,there you go. Buyers have already started discarding their copies.

Now I wonder, I guess someone here has already read the book - are there any new things in it we have never heard about?

I read it. Some things are just plain wrong. Not much that we haven´t heard before. "Simon and Garfunkel A Duel Biography" is a better book imo.

I have never heard of that book. How Old is it? A Duel or Dual Biography:) Who is the author Proof?

A dual (sic) in the sun. : )

I read it years ago, can´t remember much about except that it was better than the new one. The Keith Richards autobiography is very good - maybe Mr. Simon will follow in those footsteps, but that´s a bit hard to imagine for a number of reasons.

Ian, you have run into Proof´s humour ;-)

But such a bio would be interesting. Who wants to read a biography by Paul Simon about how much he cares about Mr. Garfunkel. The media wants to read things like ´I hate all curled guys´

I came accross the book by accident last weekend at HMV (Chapters in my region does not carry any...another clue !).

I took a look at the Capeman portion, and for a guy that was saying that he was providing all details surrounding the flop, I found that portion quite thin.

The book was already at 25% discount, and I did not buy it. Looks pretty botched.

But Mog,how can you say that? After all it´s the most in-depth look at the origins,writing,production and controversy surrounding The Capeman ever written!!! :)

Looks like Mr. Eliot is already paying people off to make him look a little better lol http://www.amazon.com/review/R1IG3G3TOHZ6KY/ref=cm

Good grief. You´re right Jay. This guy is too eager to praise this book. There´s another reader/reviewer called ´Dr Spot´ who has hit the nail squarely on the head,even mentioning Elliot´s apparent preoccupation with Dylan(in and off itself not a problem,but in a book about Paul Simon,seems odd). Secondhand or not,I won´t be buying this book.

I am telling you: I should write the book!

Any interested publisher, please contact me.

Just self-publish it on lulu. I´m sure everyone here would buy it.
