I bought this while in London, just over halfway through it and it has a LOT of firsthand information from James Chance, Lydia Lunch and pretty much all of the musicians involved with the scene. One criticism is that it perhaps focuses too much on the No New York LP and those bands. Towards the end of the book there is stuff about Sonic Youth as well with some choice pics and interview. I think it's a great book, really looking forward to the Moore/Coley volume as well..
