More Reviews Coming In!
Goooood Sunday Morning Jymsbooks!
Got some new reviews that came in, and they're looking pretty good! I'll excerpt them for you.
The first is from Sally Stevenson who interviewed Jim Morrison for Circus Magazine in 1970:
"The Doors Examined" is so close to excellent, it should be read by every Doors person on the planet, not just their fans, but people like me (Circus Magazine Interview 1970) who knew them professionally and/or personally. "The Doors Examined" delights me because it holds new insights and surprises. (Rap tracks.) I think poet Morrison would have enjoyed the rhythms of Rap.
"The Doors Examined" is stuffed with facts. That could make for a very dry read. Instead Cherry has written this encyclopedia with such great imagery that no photos are required. Morrison was a poet and loved words that painted pictures. I think he would have loved Cherry's book. I do.
The next comes from artist Jessie Buddell who has done portraits of Jim Morrison
"I tend to read books like a snail, between work and painting I make time to sit and read. Your book is making me really look forward to my reading times!
I love the way it's laid out. It's in articles, and like you said, you can read it all the way through or skip around.
I've been reading it straight through, but I love the way it skips from different times in the Doors history...it's really refreshing and not like the other books about them."
If you would like to take a look at Jessie's paintings you can check them out at: http://primalscenes.com/
You can read these reviews in full at Amazon http://tiny.cc/y2rkuw (this is already a long missive).
A couple of blogs have also mentioned "The Doors Examined"
The first is photographer O.Bisogno Scotti, who photographed the building the Morrison Hotel was in. http://blogbisogno.wordpress.com/2013...
The article about his photograph is in the book.
Indiana writer Julie Rosenbaum-Englehardt, http://www.juliejournals.com
she has also submitted the review to a newspaper she works for Evansville Living, so hopefully that will be in the paper there soon!
If all this too much good news I did pick up my first official troll who titled their review "the book is just a copy and paste of various articles."
Well this is pretty long, so I'll let you get back to your previously scheduled day!
Best!
