I got Step into the light & Music for the People.

They are old books though.

Step Into the Light isn't as bad as some make it out to be, I like it and refer to it from time to time as a sort of bible. I look to it for inspiration.

Step Into the Light is written by a man who never really interacted with DMB.

It starts and supports such unfounded rumors as:
Pantala Naga Pampa = "Welcome to our home."
and LeRoi wears sunglasses because he has terrifying stage-fright.

PNP means "I have a python in my pants."
Roi wears glasses because he plays bright shiny instruments that bounce blinding light into his eyes.

Decent book, but much of it is false.

(I'm surprised this book doesn't start off by saying "Dave is gay and has AIDS."

)
