 Designed in the same format as the wildly successful Lennon Legend and Marley Legend, "The Jim Morrison Scrapbook" focuses on the life and work of this controversial and magnetic rock star and poet, and is produced with full cooperation of the Morrison estate. New interviews - with family members, surviving Doors members, friends and music industry professionals - complete with a selection of rare and never-before-published colour and black-and-white photographs offer a fresh look at the famous legend. In addition, the book will feature removable mementos and personal documents detailing Morrison's life, from handwritten lyrics and poetry to his last Will and Testament. An exclusive 60-minute CD, comprised of 50 minutes of interviews and 10 minutes of Morrison's spoken-word poetry, caps off this incomparable collector's package.

I have been away from all things Doors for quite some time, but I am now returning to the fold. I have ordered the book from Amazon here in the Uk but they are now saying it won't be with me until 19th Novemebr at the earliest....bastards!!  |

I looked through the book at Borders last Christmas (in keeping with my policy of not putting any more money into The Doors pockets, I've paid a little much for the way they've treated their fans esp. R$y) & it looked pretty cool maybe more interesting for a teeny bopper kid. Iggy's intro was cool and right on calling The Doors the only art band that was any good!
;D

I recently got a copy of this book, breaking my own ethics of not putting any more $ into Doors stuff. My copy came from Amazon, used, which turned out to be less than 1/2 of the original price.
I like it. I found it interesting especially the note from Jim to Bob Greene asking for a financial statement so he could calculate staying on in Paris indefinately.
I also found that one document, Death Of American Citizen dated July 15 1971 interested as it had the statement that this was a preliminary report as they were waiting on a cause of death.

So if it was a preliminary report maybe some tissue samples were taken or blood drawn for some tests?? Yeah, those that say Jim was going to come back to The Doors or they hadn't broken up fail to take that into account (that Jim was planning on an indefinte stay). |

 This is the snippet of poetry included on the disc.
Supposedly from the December 8th 1970 session.
We can invent Kingdoms of our own
Grand purple thrones, those chairs of lust
And love we must, in beds of rust
Steel doors lock in prisoner's screams
And muzak, AM, rocks their dreams
No black men's pride to hoist the beams
While mocking angels sift what seems
To be a collage of magazine dust
Scratched on foreheads of walls of trust
This is just jail for those who must
Get up in the morning & fight for such
Unusable standards
While weeping maidens
Show-off penury and pout
Ravings for a mad

One of the better books on the market that deal with Jim Morrison.
A more balanced view it has to be said and one of the few that portray the human being rather than the Mythical figure.
Any members read it and got a view?

I have it but I haven't read it. Interesting presentation and entertaining to open all sections, is like a box full of surprises, full of poems, documents, drawings, etc., like a book for children.
As you say it is good I am going to read it.

Good description. It is like that with various interesting surprises hidden in the pages as you read along it. I scanned some of the artwork Jim did here. Jim Morrison Art. |
