Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out, I totally understand and appreciate your approach in interacting with this site. As I believe was mentioned in other threads the main criticisms could be boiled down to wanting more. I'm confident if you pulled together a 10,000 page book most of us would still be looking for an additional 10,000 pages. With a book like this there is certainly the need to make it as marketable as possible so I can certainly appreciate that pages had to be devoted to providing introductory details on a number of things that many of us on the hipbase already 'knew'.

In terms of questions:

Were there any stories you really wanted to include but couldn't because of a lack of sources or able to verify?

What did you find most frustrating in writing this book?

Were there any topics you wish you could have went deeper into but couldn't due to a lack of information?

Beyond the band, was there anyone you wish you could have spent more time interviewing?

and finally if you were to write a sequel to this book what would you want it to focus on?

Thanks again for writing this book, I suspect it will be something I re-read every few years and pick up new tidbits each time!
