Good Guide to Sources While the biography is short -- as are all the ones in Greenwood's series -- this is a good annotated guide to information on Paul Simon, with a focus on his work as a songwriter. | ||
Money for nothing In a nutshell this is a very expensive 11 page biography followd by almost 200 hundred pages of bibliography. The biography has nothing that is not well know to Simon's fans. The bibliography can be gotten for a lot less money with a good search engine. Even with a casual glance at the bibliography ommisions were apparent. | ||
