Sunday Times (http://entertainment.timesonline.co....cle7104644.ece) called it a gripping portrait of the final, reclusive years of the charismatic co-founder of Pink Floyd , and The Observer (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010...ar-head-review) said that it was a consistently illuminating, and often surprising, read. Syd is a looming presence here, an elusive to the point of spectral figure, who haunts the pages of this, the best book yet about him . We'll bring you more about the book shortly, but in the meantime, you can take advantage of up to 40% discount off the recommended retail price, by ordering through the following links: Amazon UK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...braindamage-21), Amazon US/International (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...braindamage-20), Amazon Canada (http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASI...aindamageon-20), Amazon France (http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/ASI...aindamageon-21), or Amazon Germany (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASI...aindamage0f-21).
