Frank Zappa - good books?

[CamillasAlias]

Hi There

Oh yes, Christmas time.....

My father likes Frank Zappa and I'm looking for a good book. I don't know how much he knows about the man and his life so I don't want to get a biography. He isn't very intellectual so an acedemic analysis would not be appropriate - any ideas? He does play guitar - has anyone experienced a good compliation of sheet music?

Many Thanks
C

you've probably left it a bit late but you should get the first one in 3 - 5 days as it looks like it's in stock. all the ISBN numbers are there though and so you could search elsewhere.

the man was as mad as a box of frogs lol

The real frank zappa book is essential reading. Also consider barry miles' book, and michael gray's 'mother'. Even if you think he won't want a biography, I'm sure those will change his mind!
