Anybody got any info on a book called The Shadows Diamond Anniversary on amazon

I found this page on Amazon. The book has SRO.
From the title, it seems like a good read though.
Cheers, Bruce.

Looks a bit dodgy to me. 65 pages and they can't seem to decide whether it was written by Arthur Miller or Harry Lime! My guess would be neither! Anyway...

At 65 pages, this publication is probably not much more than a pamphlet, and doesn't appear to
be very well written.
Probably a must to avoid.

Only one review which says it is overpriced. I suspect that it's one of those Internet cut and paste jobs, printed on demand.

Lulu.com is a company providing e-book and print self-publishing facilities.

I have obtained a copy. It seems to be, as George says, an internet cut-and-paste job, with unattributed sources. I even recognised something I had written myself! I skimmed through it and there was nothing new you wouldn't find by searching the ShadowMusic website.

There is a respectable bibliography listing books that are all worth reading. It has an ISBN number which does not show up in the ISBN database. It has been produced by these people https://www.ingramcontent.com/publishers/print

I guess it's been put together by a knowledgeable enthusiast. OK for a coffee table.

A private publication can be OK.
However, a venture by a fan who is poorly resourced with a lack of cash and nothing new to add to
the sum total of knowledge that already exists ends up to be nothing much more than a vanity project.
In this instance- a trap for young players can lead to a purchasing disappointment.

In the words of great men and women - I'm out

Cheers.

Since I am reckless and irresponsible with money... I've ordered a copy. What's the worst that can happen...?

Not discover anything you didn't already know?
