I read peter freestones book and it was interesting. I sometimes go back and read certain chapters as there is alot of info in it and I found he jumps around alot but a good read. Im trying to order a used book of Mercury and Me on the internet but they are so friggin expensive unless its in poor condition.Anyone know where I can get a copy for a decent price?New books are out of print it seems.I just ordered the queen biography and look forward to receiving it soon in the mail.
I have the book entitled: The Freddie Mercury Story: Living On The Edge. It is about Freddie's personal life and his biggest Queen moments. It was written by David Bret. Very good!!!!!!!! Take care!!!!!!
