The book is great because all the work was essentially done by Charlie Lippincott in the Late Seventies.
Rinzler had access to the interviews and transcripts that Charlie took for a 3 year period from 1976-1979.
Funny how other than a small mention in the foreward Lippincott gets no credit for the Book.
His name should be on the book for all intents and purposes. HE should also get half the salary Rinzler was paid to do it.
