Mozipedia: The Encyclopedia of Morrissey and The Smiths

Yep

Akin to having a major work of art explained by a museum curator. You may love a visual image but not fully understand the background, references or artists' intent. Songs I have cherished for decades are now betterunderstood. Unfortunately, I will miss the mystery and my personal interpretations. Gorgeous photos too! Very well done Mr. Goddard. Thank You!

Got it for my Moz obsessed hubby. He's in HEAVEN. He has read everybook, listened to every interview, subjected me to endless hours of Moz trivia and music and this book is the culmination of everything. He's in the office reading it now and I may not see him again until he's starving and in search of sustenance. Now I can finally get some house work done. I'd say it was a great pruchase.

This book is very thorough, accurate, informative, and well researched. Plus, it has a complete chronological discography in the back, including all singles and b-sides. Being a huge fan of Morrissey's for over 30 years, I thought I knew a lot about him. But Simon Goddard is like a one man data base. And he has a reputation in Moz circles for being fair and accurate regarding the singer, rather than promoting gossip, sensationalism, or assumptions. This is an absolute must have for anyone who likes Morrissey or The Smiths.

I had this book on my wishlist for several months and my wife just gave it to me for Christmas. All I can say is wow! This book has it all and I can't believe I didn't get it sooner. I listen to Morrissey at least 4 days per week, he's a lyrical genius. I usually use songmeanings.net to read reviews on his songs, but it's mostly fans' musings. Mozipedia breaks down his songs and references with real insight. The book has a sturdy hardcover, readable black and white text, and a few color photos. You'll be getting this for the content, not the images. I know I'll be enjoying this for many years!

Got this for my son and he has been quoting new Moz facts for days!

Full of interesting stories, facts, details. Love to pick it up and just randomly pick a page and find out more about Moz!

My daughter once told me, "You are Morrissey." I wish I had his wit and class, but I can pretend I am as witty as he vicariously. Only gripe I have with the book is that every little thing that might have anything remotely to do with Moz is in here. For example, I learned Morrissey admired David Bowie for a while. Who knew?

Do you love The Smiths? Are you mad about Moz? Then you need this book! It's really well put together with loads of fun facts and cool photos. Great pressie for the Smithshead in your life. I wound up buying three copies--one for me and two as Christmas presents for friends who are mad into The Smiths.

Información exhaustiva y bien fundamentada. Vital para los fans de Mozz y de los Smiths. Tal vez faltan un poco más de imágenes.

Da fan sfegatato degli Smiths, è una vera e propria Bibbia! Particolari, retroscena e vicende su ogni canzone di Smiths o Morrissey solista. In particolare mi ha colpito fra tutto la storia dietro Suffer Little Children.Insomma, nel complesso adoro, adoro, adoro!

I bought it thinking it would include lyrics, but it doesn’t. My mistake, the book is great still, I just wanted to stress that.

This book makes me so happy.
