Since the late 1980s he has worked in book publishing (from 1989 to 2000 with Hamlyn/Octopus), commissioning and editing titles on rock 'n' roll, jazz, and popular culture. He wrote the much-acclaimed The Art of the Beatles (Muller Blond & White)in 1984, and the bestselling Elvis: A Celebration (DK) which he researched and wrote in collaboration with the Elvis Presley Estate in Memphis, and The Art of British Rock (Frances Lincoln) in 2010. Fleetwood Mac: The Definitive History (Sterling) was published in 2011, and in 2012 Neil Young (Sterling) and Ukulele Crazy (Anova). He lives and works in London, dividing his time between writing and a freelance editorial consultancy.view less
