Best Book on Queen

What are people's thoughts on the best book on the band? Got to say ive read a few and Ken Dean's a New Visual Documentary is one of the best. Lots of photo's info etc. As it Began is a bit safe, I actually think Lesley Anne Jones on Fred is good but Rick Sky's was awful.

Queen: The Ultimate Illustrated History of the Crown Kings of Rock by Phil Sutcliffe

/\ Phil Sutcliffe's for me n'all. Fantastic.
Also: 'Queen unseen' by roadie Peter Hince, who gives a great insight from within. ( He's the guy who would hand Freddie his microphone from the side of the piano in case you don't already know )
'Queen the early years' is a very well researched work which is surprisingly good , even if you thought you knew it all.

The amazing 40 Years Of Queen book with lots of goodies inside and a CD.

Hince's is ok but bearing in mind he left to become a professional photographer and apprently always had a camera on him there are remarkably few photos in it. I think As It Began is the only other one I've read but as its official it is just a diary of things they did rather than insight.

Queen As It Began, of course.

I haven’t read this, but everyone says that the Leslie Anne Jones book has a lot of inaccuracies like about Barbara Valentin and Freddie being an item. Maybe others have insight in this as well.

Oh oh! Got it! LOL!!!!

I too agree. The New Visual documentary presented by Ken Deans is really excellent. [url=http://agritechsupport.com]latest agriculture technology[/url] I watched it once and it is really illuminating. I liked it very much. It was really one of the good documentaries I've ever seen.
