I've yet to actually pick this up. Any immediate thoughts on it?
I'm only up to the third Chapter "Here he Comes" when Eno first 'touched down' in London.
Its a good read, very well crafted and with the authoritative air of a well-researched labour of love.
At times I wonder if Sheppard is a little verbose, but that's a minor point. He's been around Eno for many years and cites a lot of his own interviews with him.
Not hard to find - I walked into Waterstone's and picked one up off the shelf. It's also a superb looking book - one of those things that's nice to hold. I rarely read hardbacks, and even more rarely do I actually purchase one (
Tainted Life being the last).
It smells good, and is a whole idiosyncratic 'experience'.
£20 very well worth investing.
The opening sentence is brilliant. Engaging from the start...

I plan to pick it up and take it on holiday, and read it...
