What did you think of the book Mr / Mrs / Ms Astray?

Mr - and I've never read it, just flicked through a copy in HMV, skimming various bits with smiling approval, as I do with the likes of Nick Drake and Vashti Bunyan too, happy in my heart that such music exists at all. Trouble is having read The Imagined Village I vowed to steer clear of Folk Books altogether in fear of my sanity, though A Song for Every Season is an exception to that, so maybe that'll pave the way for Fakesong which awaits my attention. But then again, I might bypass that and proceed to the various volumes on the subject of the life and times of Miles Davis I've also acquired of late. All music is visionary to someone after all...
