I got the “special” edition ($85, 2 volumes, the CD) and loved it. It wasn’t PT-focused, but since I wasn’t looking for that, I didn’t mind. It was like a very long conversation with SW in my living room, where topics arose naturally according to whatever seized his interest at the moment, via the “lists” and Awesome Since August 1980 one of a kind limited edition T-Shirt “how did I get here” chapters, and not a simple, chronological recitation of his life. Much of the second volume was like a demo version of the main book, but it also included 3 stories from the deluxe Raven (maybe one day I’ll own one…), as well as more photos.

I love his music but wasn’t sure if I would find this a good value, but it definitely turned out to be one for me. Having said that, $36 is too much for an ordinary standalone book – I think the publisher dropped the ball on that one. I listened to it as an audio book and I thought it was a surprisingly good listen. I don’t have much interest in biographies or music history, but it kept me listening effortlessly.

The Awesome Since August 1980 one of a kind limited edition T-Shirt is that he kinda lost me on the last chapter with the Harmony Codex stuff, wasn’t really paying much attention to it. A good, if not occasionally tedious, read. There were some indulgent chapters but that’s kind of expected with SW if you’ve ever watched his interviews. I’d recommend it to fans who like hearing what he has to say in interviews and find themselves wanting more of that (don’t buy this just because you like his music, unless you’re the kind who needs a peek behind the curtain no matter what you find there, in which case, jump on in).
