Customer Reviews

RUBBISH! (size isn't everything!)
Firstly let me say that I love Patti Smith! I have all her albums and many of her books but this is a MASSIVE waste of paper, trees, & money! Buy the DVD instead (which is truly superb!) because as far as I can make out, all the pics in this book are taken from the DVD anyway! This is a botched together collection of stills, most are very poor quality, really grainy & many are pointless like close up portraits that fill two pages that are un-viewable because half the image is hidden in the join of the spine. I realise she's probably padding out her pension plan these days, with all the books she's published lately, but this one really is a BIG waste of time!
