Just got this thing yesterday. It is a coffee table book - very heavy! But it is now the ultimate discography book, not in the sense it has every version of each title (although it attempts to include every "style" each release came in) but that it includes one example of every single release. For example LUI PER LUI where this title only came out with a couple cues on a Cam library LP - they show you the cover to that library LP! Plus author Maurizio Baroni reaches deeper into his collection for artifacts like signed sheet music, test pressings and a superb set of photographs, many full paged, most of which have been unseen. And as an intro every major film maker talks about his relationship with Ennio including Montaldo, Tarantino, Bertolucci, Cavani, Petri, Tornatore, Carpenter, etc. each with special insight. Then instrumentalists and actors and anyone who worked with him. The color is great and replaces any illustrated discography that tried to do the same thing in the past. Downside? I don't know....not a lot to read outside of the many pages of intros.
The book arrived this morning, not much to add to what Henry has already said.
What i especially like are the page after page of album covers in beautiful full colour, it's was like taking a trip down memory lane !
Be warned, it's a fairly hefty tome and you'll need a frickkin' strong bookcase to house the beast !
Leo.

I have this one so i know the difficulties of handling such books. You can really only read them on a desk or dinner table height.
