Re-make/Re-model: Becoming "Roxy Music"

This is an excellent book, but it's worth pointing out that this is the paperback edition of 'Remake/Remodel' which came out last yearin hardback. The book has been retitled, presumably to make it appear to be a biography of Roxy Music. It isn't. The narrative ends before the release of the band's first record. Instead it's about Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno & Andy Mackay growing up & attending art school, & about the cultures of pop art, music & fashion as the influenced themin the 50s & 60s. I found it fascinating, albeit lacking any critical edge, but I don't want people to be misled by the title, cover & marketing into believing this is about Roxy Music's success - their albums, tours etc. That would be another book.
