Don't know whether anyone's seen this yet, but it's amazing in content and
format and--among other things--contains Stones' stories and photos.

There's compelling text, Ethan's images--many never seen before,including some
Stones' shots--and links to audio, video, and more.

It's part memoir, part history, part popcult storytelling, part digital interactive
multimedia archival experience.

As digital interactive multimedia archivIST, with a focus on late 20th C American
social/culture history and music, I'm ecstatic someone has done this--and done it
so well. And thrilled it's Ethan Russell!

Here's the Facebook page for An American Story

Here's the Link to Amazon where you can buy for $7.99! and also preview some of it.
I don't own a Kindle or iPad, and at first figured I couldn't access it, but you can buy
it and just access it on your laptop or PC or whatever.

Description
About Ethan Russell Keith Richards said, “(His) was no ordinary eye, and I found out no ordinary mind behind it.... A quiet thoughtful man with a blinding vision. Enjoy his work. I do.”

The true story of a young American who in 1967 traveled to England, knowing no one, and became the photographer for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and later the Eagles and many others. With over 250... photographs (including never before seen pictures of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and others) An American Story takes the reader from San Francisco, to London, and back....on tour with the Rolling Stones, on the roof with the Beatles for their last concert, and directing music videos with Paul Simon, Rickie Lee Jones, kd lang, and John Lennon. Yet, American Story is more than that: at over 90,000 words, it is his personal journey wrapped in a shared-interactive history of the last half of the 20th century, a personal inquiry into America then and now. Conceived and designed from its inception to be an eBook, it connects to a dedicated blog, providing audio, video and social interaction to eReaders on any platform. The reader is invited in to experience Ethan Russell’s story, our common history, and to share their own. (my geeky emphasis)

“An ambitious, startling, game-changing book written with enormous heart’ -- Rosanne Cash.

Can you look at it on a normal computer. I mean do you need a kindle to read it?

edit : I see my question is already answered in your post!


Bought it for 5€. A lot of rare pictures to look at, and lots of Stones content.
Just to have the kindle reader software on your laptop to read it.
