From Publishers Weekly
British journalist Humphries and collector Hunt have compiled arguably «the ultimate Springsteen manual.» In the first section, Humphries, who writes that Springsteen «conjures up the American dream,» captures the performer’s appeal in a nicely etched biographical portrait. The book’s second half, «The Bruce Files,» by Hunt, exhaustively catalogues Springsteen’s radio/TV/concert and rock-video appearances. The extensive discography alphabetically lists all Springsteen songs and recordings (including bootlegs). Remarkably, Hunt also attempts to document every song Springsteen has ever sung written by other artistseven if Springsteen sung it only once. Including more than 275 illustrations of posters, torn tickets, record labels, magazine covers, Japanese record jackets, newspaper clips, etc., this career compendium is calculated to dazzle any Springsteen fan.

From Library Journal

This two-part tribute to Bruce Springsteen is full of old and new information and insights. Humphries’s Part 1 describes Springsteen’s rise to pop stardom in the context of the world of rock’n’roll. His insights into Bruce’s lyrics are more interesting because of his British perspective. Hunt’s Part 2 is a chronology from 1965 to 1985 that covers appearances and other «career milestones,» along with some trivia. Several annotated lists follow, among them an alphabetical listing of each of Springsteen’s compositions; other songs he has performed; and bootleg singles, EPs, and albums. The black-and-white photos cover everything from the usual concert pics to rare old posters and tickets. A thorough compilation of Springsteen facts and comments, for most popular music collections.

Some bend in front. Interior almost new, but by default to have a loose leaf binder, although the book is complete.
