A man who stands up to tell the truth in a house full of lies
"The story of a man who stands up to tell the truth in a house full of lies" William Burroughs
"They say that death kills you, but death doesn't really kill you....indifference and boredom kill you" Iggy Pop
This is a very rare autobiography by Iggy Pop - NOT a reissue, which are plentiful
I Need More - The Stooges And Other Stories
Iggy Pop with Anne Wehrer
Softcover
128 pages A4 size
All 100+ photographs/graphics are monochrome except the rear painting of Iggy, the artist being David Bowie
Most of the photographs are private shots, not staged and DO include the famous full frontal nude of Iggy showing the "lot"
I have especially focused on the spine in the photographs, yes there is discolouration (from skin oils when handled) but the spine is not damaged or about to come apart - secure.

An absolute must have book by Iggy - the original release from USA. Extremely difficult to find and very desirable in any collection.
Iggy tells a number of stories, no crap and cuts the chase - laying bare what really went on, told in a way only Iggy could tell these stories (he drifts off subject quite often) but really fascinating reading. He talks of the 80's but also the 70's - the Stooges days, shooting up, gazing out the window at the cops, shooting up, blah blah blah, shooting up - get the idea?
Another book which gives fascinating insight into an artist who lives life to the fullest, walked the fine line and survived - many didn't
CONDITION:
Front and rear are a bit "dirty" looking, I am not sure if the cover was white or a beige but overall it just looks a bit on the grubby side.
NO TEARS
NO SPINE DAMAGE - DISCOLOURED YES, DAMAGED NO
NO PAGES HAVE COME ADRIFT FROM THE SPINE
NO WRITING ON THE PAGES ETC
Light wear to the opening edges that would naturally be handled to open the book - but this is not heavy wear.
I found this amongst my most recent visit to our storage units (lots more interesting music and related books to come too) - I hadn't picked this book up for years.
Looked around online and if you can find a copy (a GENUINE original - check the ISBN) copies are going for US$100 up to US$200 !! (Abebooks)
