He notes in the foreword that he tried to choose possible sequences rather than just greatest hits out of context. This effort is visible and the book flows together like almost one book instead of a career's overview. What was interesting for me as I read it was that I was reading a used copy which was liberally marked up with underlines and notes of various kinds. ... Read More
