I just saw today where there is a third book out on the HDH legacy.  It is entitled Love Factory - The History of Holland-Dozier-Holland by a Howard Priestly.  It is in the low $20 range and available through Amazon.com.  It is a paper back book.  It is a more in-depth story of their career.

If anyone obtains a copy it would be great if they would do a synopsis for all other members. 

The book was just released in the last week.  Thanks for any thoughts you might have on it if you obtain one.

In an attempt to learn additional details about this recently published book, I went to the website www.newhavenpublishingltd.com.  It is detailed there under SHOP/BOOKS.  Prior to this, I went
into Amazon.com and they allowed viewers to look at several of the pages from the 236 page
book.  I discovered, much to my surprise, that this is in reality designated a SECOND EDITION.

I was never aware of a first edition.  The intrigue grows.  Has anyone bought the first edition?

It amazes me how things like this get out in the world and virtually no publicity is ever given to
their publication.  The one negative that is a vendetta of mine is that it is only available in a paperback.
I always prefer to get a hardcover edition, but sometimes they are not available at all or only available
at a greatly inflated price. 

Thoughts?

I'd never heard about this book prior to your post above.

For what it's worth. Here is a review by Nicky Crewe. I was surprised what she writes about "Nowhere to run". I don't believe that the song (1965) has a connection with the riots in Detroit (1967). If that's a fact in the book, what is the value of the rest of the content?
There's no mention of a first or second edition.

Of course the "Nowhere to Run " story is nonsense.
And the great play made about the graphics...judging by the awful cover, I fear the worst.
I would get a copy, but only at a reasonable price.

Funnily, I've just finished reading Stuart Cosgrove's "Detroit '67" and near the end of that he makes mention that "Dancing In The Street" became "The song to define 1967".  That sounds a bit strange as well.
