Editorial Review:
More than four decades since their first album, and 35 years after the release of the iconic Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd continue to inspire and mystify rock fans around the world. Pink Floyd FAQ, by pop culture author Stuart Shea, lays out the band's strange, winding history through a new series of prisms. What were the band's most memorable gigs? What are their greatest moments on record, as a group and individually? What contemporary records influenced them, and which performers follow in their wake? What was it like to be at a Pink Floyd show in 1967, in 1973, in 1980? Pink Floyd FAQ tells the band's story, dissects their most popular work, and provides little-known facts, all adding up to a provocative must-read for fans. With 400 pages of stories, history, observation, opinion, photos, and reminiscences from those who were there, Pink Floyd FAQ will discuss frankly what made the band great - as well as note their not-so-great moments - and their place in modern pop culture, giving credit where credit is due - and maybe puncturing some inflatable pigs along the way.
Pink Floyd FAQ: Everything Left to Know ... and More! Reviews:
completely useless 
2009-10-28 - In my opinion, and I am sure there are many different ones, the book is one of the most useless publications about that band in years.
THAT IS WHY I HAD TO WRITE THAT SURVEY
I was looking forward to get a book that might offer some new insides of the bands history, as the cover promises ' Everything left to know,...and more'.
I was pretty sure that there is not too much left to know,.....and what would the the '....and more' ??
Alone that unbeatably stupid sentence should have warned me as it lacks any logic (my fault).
THAT IS WHY I HAD TO WRITE THAT SURVEY
As well, it would have helped to read about the author, another person who jumped on the train on making money with a rip-off of repetitive information of a commmerically successful band. Again, in my personal opinion, poor writing that makes it hard to get through, even the contributors are so weak that you can hardly find anything worth spending time on.
THAT IS WHY I HAD TO WRITE THAT SURVEY
The author should try to write about the 'Cubbies' next time, as he started well on the 'unauthorized biography?' of a stadium already.
Looking forward on your next publication, may be try the 'Kama Sutra FAQ' ?
Good luck
Pink Floyd Book for Reading and Reference 
2009-09-19 - This is a great book. It explores the development of Pink Floyd and never forgets the orgins of Pink Floyd. If you never knew much about the first lead singer of Floyd, this book will inform you. Syd Barrett is the orginal lead singer of Floyd and this book will take you through his life and music. It is a good read. You might not agree with everything in this book, but you will be amazed by the detail. The author writes from the perceptive of a fan, which is what makes it enjoyable to read. He also talks about the musical details of the records that really make them come alive. I think it is a worth while book for any Pink Floyd fan.
