looks pretty cheesy:

Not only did author Chris Roberts interview the late Lou Reed three times, he was also once told, “Move – you are sitting on my coat” by the unmistakable voice of Nico, backstage at a gig. Here he recounts and celebrates the fascinating, multi-faceted story of perhaps the most mysterious and unique rock band ever to exist.

The September date is for the U.S. publication, I think.

This book has been out since April 2022 in the U.K. I have a copy signed by the author:

Do we really need another book on the band at this point?

It’s a decent enough overview of the band for the average fan; very readable. Inevitably, I did come across the odd factual error.

Do we, the forum types, need it? Not really, but it does fill a hole in the current market, where so many of the older Velvets books are out of print, requiring an update, or narrow in their specialist scope.
