the providence part in the 33 1/3 book is fantastic, but the book in all is very uneven. get the trout mask replica book, that one is perfect. very good insightfull analysis about why it's such a turning point in Van Vliet's career. His complex relationship with Zappa is also very well explained (without bashing on him or Van Vliet, which is usually the case with books on Zappa or Van Vliet). I also read the Double Nickles book, but that's an okay track-by-track review, not much more.
