David Bowie Books

Read along and discover or revisit the amazing and groundbreaking work of this most visionary pop artist, broken down song-by-song for meaning, context, history and delivery! Enjoyable, revealing, definitive.

I barely know what to say here. Roughly 800 pages of everything one could possibly know about every song, show, album, video, session and all ephemera in one place. Not a page is wasted on so much as a photograph. Utterly invaluable: thank you, Mr Pegg!

So here’s some pictures, then. Mick Rock displays the goods in this relatively affordable and fairly large Taschen photo set. Bowie at some of his wildest, in his gaudier years! Fifteen-year old me would have paid twice this much for this – somehow.
