This book is an old novel that happens to have the same name as the British band. It was written long before the words ROLLING STONE were used by blues artist Muddy Waters.

I am a huge Rolling Stones fan so when this book hit the shelves I glanced through it and knew immediately I had to own it. So I bought it and was more than satisfied. This book is a biography with about 600 unreleased and unpublished photos. It has the bands story going along with the pictures. So it's like two books in one. It's hard to describe.

The pictures are well worth looking at. Read the bands biography as well. This is not the Stones most famous book but the pictures they have are rare and awesome! I love this book so much I can't express it in words. So if you are a fan of the Stones, get this book. I don't care when, I don't care how, but it has to be bought!

THIS BOOK HAS LOTS OF REALLY GREAT PICTURES OF ALL OF YOUR FAVORITE STONES. THERES NOT A LOT OF WORDS, MOSTLY PICTURES. THE FIRST 9-21 PAGES ARE WORDS, THE REST ARE PICTURES. SOME ARE BLACK AND WHITE. MOST ARE COLOR. ON PAGE 125 THERE IS A SHORT INTERVIEW WITH RON WOOD, ON THE TOUR. THEN ON PAGE 122 THERE OS A SECTION TITLED "26 x 5 " THE SONGS PREFORMED ON THE 1982 TOUR OF EUROPE. TO FINISH THE BOOK OF THERE IS A SECTION TITLED " QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STONES EVERYBODY ASKS." QUESTIONS LIKE ??WHEN HAVE THE ROLLING STONES TOURED EUROPE?? AND ??WHAT IS THE BIGEST CONCERT THE ROLLING STONES EVER GAVE?? AND MANY MORE. I LOVE THIS BOOK, AND WOULD NEVER GIVE IT UP. ITS A MUST FOR EVERY STONES FAN, WHO CAN FIND ONE!

This is the best book ever written about the Stones by the Stones ....

I HAVE A 1983 COPPY OF THIS BOOK THAT IS ABOUT THE ROLLING STONES 1981 TATTOO YOU U.S. TOUR. MY FATHER BOUGHT IT BECAUSE HE WAS AT THE VERY LAST SHOW (HAMPTON '81::: A T.V. BROADCAST:::)
I Found it ver interesting. Read It!

i could say a million wanky things about this book...but that would be unfair to its integrity, and wouldnt do justice to how it effects you when you read it.it has a fatalistic poignancy and originality that makes your brain develop a different pace of thinking, where everything and nothing is of importance. someone else called it a little too sad, but i think its strength lies in its ability to be both painful and enlightening (alright alright so i went wanky anyway but i couldnt help it!).truly memorable, and i kid you not, ive read it six times!

"Karlin's deft melding of disparate narratives will stand as a unique and valuable addition to the literature of the Holocaust." --Washington Post Book World

"A haunting meditation." --Publishers Weekly

"For the sake of humanity, we need to read Wayne Karlin on war and peace. Studying the holocaust of his immediate forebears and the Viet Nam/American War of his own experience, he has written a life-saving book." --Maxine Hong Kingston

"A gem of a book burnished with poetic language and images." --Baltimore Jewish Times

This is a great book if you're interested in the subject of rune stones or if you're not familiar with it at all. It has full color photographs of rune stones in Sweden and information about each stone--its location, a translation of what the carving says, when and how was the stone found, possible interpretations of the carving, have any similar stones been found in the area etc. Except for photographs it also includes a guide to runic alphabets and a brief explanation about the origins of rune stones. Hmmm, yummy I would say. Enough to arouse interest in someone who isn't familiar with the subject at all. If you're like me you will be delighted by this book. I highly recommend it.

I knew I had to pick buy this after I flipped through it at a book store. I have been half-heartedly searching for a couple years now for a book about Russian history that didn't focus on the 1917 revolution and the Cold War. Also, it's full of illustrations and sidebar articles that bring this subject to life. Just for interest reading, this book has been fascinating. From the Kievan Rus to the St. Petersburg czars, and all the interesting stuff in between like the Mongol invasions and Ivan the Terrible, is in here. It's a good light read, because it's not in lengthy novel form. It's my coffee table book.

Sally Griffyn's Sacred Journeys has taken me along with her to these sights, but more importantly, has allowed me to follow my own path as I read along. The photography is astounding, clear, informative and sensitively artistic. Her careful guidance to and through these sacred sights informs one of the important historical significance of these places of wonder, but also invites our inner eyes and ears to hear what these sights are presently and what they were meant for when they were used in the past. Careful to suggest respect with regard to preservation, Sally Griffyn invites us to open our hearts and minds to their purposes we can still utilize in the modern age. Her relaying of historical background material blends naturally with generous offerings of appropriate rituals we can incorporate in our own paths. These suggestions are appropriate in terms of our own evolution along traditional spiritual paths but obviously in terms of the particular histories of these ancient sights. Her book has been long in coming, and much needed in this age of religious moralizing and materialism. It is a bright and shining example of a dedicated writer and photographer who aspires to bring the reader along her path while honoring our own place in relation to the sacred places from the past. We can all learn a lot no matter how studied one might be along the wiccan path. It is a personal journey in the end, of course, but this book is a comfortable companion.
