Essential reading for investors
All investors should read a copy of this book. Written in 1999 shortly before the Dot-com bubble burst it provides a prescient historical warning of what’s in store for this generation of overly exuberant investors.

It’s a Long Way Down to the Top
According to Simon Kossoff (Paul’s older brother) this is a “fascinating, remarkably researched and comprehensive tribute to my brother Paul’s talent and memory”. This book, years in the making, is surely the definitive biography of one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
The book is set out in five parts. Parts 1, 2 & 3 document his guitars, equipment and technique in remarkable detail. Parts 4 & 5 cover the early years in Black Cat Bones, the formation and history of Free through to Back Street Crawler and the now familiar story of his battle with addiction to heavy drugs and untimely death in March 1976. It is written in a style that will appeal not only to guitarists but also those with little or no knowledge of guitars or the finer technical points of guitar playing.
The book contains many previously unpublished photos and some lovely anecdotes. Wonderful story from Richard Digby Smith about Kossoff’s inimitable guitar sound and the recording of his beautiful solo on ‘Come Together In The Morning’ (p 34-36). Amusing tale from Kossoff himself about an encounter with Jimi Hendrix, one of his heroes, whilst he was working as a junior salesman at Selmer’s Music shop in late 1966 (p 388). Kossoff’s admiration for Clapton and Hendrix really shine through.
A fitting tribute to a gifted guitarist who could say more with one note than many other guitarists with a thousand notes.
