4 stars of 5 on this one. Mainly a coffee table book with some text, but mainly packed with photos of the session. I would have liked to have seen a few photos of the outside of the building on 21st Street from that time period, where the proceedings took place that day in January of 1969. Also maybe a listing of all the recordings, who played or sang on what song etc., though of course all that is available on Wikipedia. If you are a fan of Chess Records, and especially a fan of Fleetwood Mac, this is a book to have.
