Glenn Baker traces the Monkees' meteoric rise to fame, the adulation and hostility they faced at the top of pop's ladder, and their sudden decline. Illustrated with over 200 photographs, including Monkees ephemera and film stills, this guide offers a complete discography and coverage of the Monkees' 30th anniversary.

Review

'...recalls the highlights of their short career ... and it's amply illustrated. A good buy for the old fans - and the new.' -- Music Week

'Monkeemania...showers you with facts, provides the obligatory discographies and lists the episodes of the show...' -- Melody Maker

Monkee Mania is right.............

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2002

This is a very fascinating book to have around and read. It's very interesting and again it's very informative. It has everything you want to know about all four monkees. It has nice interesting pictures as well. And also a very collectble book.

THIS IS A GOOD BOOK

Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2002

I BOUGHT THIS BOOK WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT, WITH A DIFFERENT COVER TO IT, ITS VERY GOOD, I DIDN'T GET THE NEW ONE, SINCE I'VE YET TO COMPARE IT TO THE OLD ONE THAT I PUT AWAY, BUT ITS THE SAME AUTHOR, SO I'M PRETTY SURE THIS BOOK IS AS GREAT AS THE OLD ONE, PICS AND ALL.
IS THIS THE SAME BOOK?

Entertaining but not completely accurate

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2002

Kudos to Baker for writing a book about The Monkees, the most misunderstood group of rock history. They still tour and are still popular (and still great). But, aside from some decent photos and a fairly interesting pace, there's a ton of misrepresentations here, old rumours that noone bothered to check up on and just plain old errors. In dates, personal lives, etc.--just about every element is distorted at least somewhat. I'm not saying intentionally, but still... Which while it doesn't really stop you from reading, it gets pretty annoying. Come to think of it, of all the books published about The Monkees, there is no one single definitive tome available and there never has been. Maybe one day a serious literary endeavour will emerge to tell the whole story accurately, but then The Monkees story is not yet over.

The Monkees

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2002

This book told the story of how the Monkees started out of being a fake band and then turning into one of the most popular bands in the 60's. It's a good book to read if making of bands is your thing.

I give it an "eh"

Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2001

First of all, the book had some really great pictures. That's the good thing about this book. The ONLY good thing. The bad thing is that most of the information is wrong, wrong, wrong! There are many errors in this book, and it'll get Monkees fans really really confused (it happened to me!) Now, I just like to look at the pictures in the book. Steer clear, don't read!

モンキーズの結成から、最近までを網羅

Reviewed in Japan on December 11, 2003

Verified Purchase

１９６５年のモンキーズのオーディション（それ以前のメンバーの活動）から８０年代の再結成に至るまでが網羅されており、モノクロだが、ジミ・ヘンドリックスやジャニス・ジョプリンとピーターとが収まっている写真や、マイクのファーストナショナルバンドのメンバー写真など、貴重なものが含まれており、ファンにはたまらない内容です。版を重ね、第３版になったのも、判るような気がします。
