The photos in this book are fantastic, unfortunately the story focuses more on the members' private lives and various scandals they were involved in than on their music. It's good if you're interested in that kind of thing, but there are better books about The Rolling Stones out there.

A good introduction to the stones throughout the years. Read about Brian Jones. The most talented and also the stupidest stone.
