I have used the search thingy and I still can't find the answer to this, so don't neck me if u have already discussed it!
I read an interview with david gilmour a few days ago and he mentioned a book which had a lot of wrong meanings to the songs in it, what is this book? if you don'y know can anyone suggest a good book about pink floyd for a xmas present?

I think the book Gilmour was mentioning is Cliff Jones' "Another Brick In The Wall".

A good book for a present would be one of the following:

Storm Thorgerson "Mind Over Matter" A wonderful book on Floyd cover art with interesting comments by Storm.

Glenn Povey/Ian Russell ""Pink Floyd In The Flesh (the complete performance history)" Another excellent book documenting the history of their concerts.

Nicholas Schaffner "Saucerful Of Secrets" Excellent biography of the band (and probably the less expensive of these three )

thank - you, didn't want to get a book full of nonsense thats all! think I'll try the one with the artwork - sounds the best out of the three

I have the book, its not all nonsense. But plenty of it is.

I came here to find out about this book too, so what I want to know, is I love Roger Waters lyrics, and wanted to get this book to find out what was behind them, and the meaning of a lot of them. And what I want to know, is this a good book for that? I'm not talking about this history of pink, just the meanings behind their songs and stuff like that. So is this book worth getting?
