The book is in very nice condition EXCEPT for a remainder mark and a little shelf staining on the bottom, the name of the previous owner on the frontispiece while the jacket has a tiny tear at the top back front.

Ultimately it's not hard to see how this volume fell out of print after its first pressing. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good.

Condition: Very Good. Its organisation is so chronologically incoherent as to be practically non-existent; major events like line-up changes and album releases happen out of sequence and there are a handful of spelling mistakes that suggest that this project needed the attention of an editor with a feel for the subject.

It has the feel of a missed opportunity, and yet because there's such a dearth of material out there, for a real Straits anorak, it is still arguably still worth tracking a copy down.

Mark Knopfler: An Unauthorised Biography

August 31, 2018
It's always been a bit of a mystery to me why Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler have had so few books written about them - there's only this and Michael Oldfield's 'Dire Straits', both of which are now decades out of date.



It's a mystery that's at least partially explained by the foreword here where MK's then-manager Ed Bicknell makes plain his client's unwillingness to co-operate. This new biography on Mark Knopfler, songwriter, singer and producer for Dire Straits, reveals, at last, the man behind the guitar.

Delivery times are set by sellers and vary by carrier and location. This illuminating and provocative portrait, packed with new information about rock's most reserved superstar, is the book all Dire Straits fans have been waiting for.

It's a pity, because there's certainly a great book to be written about the Deptford quartet's unheralded and meteoric rise to worldwide fame. Unfortunately, though it contains much which is winningly original - Knopfler's former Café Racers bandmate Dave Pask is an irascible and engaging interviewee - this book isn't it.
