This is a good book, it reviews just about every stones song ever. BUT it's very critical of later stuff from the stones and therefore is quite annoying to read overly critical reviews of your favourite songs being "turkeys". It is however, interesting to find out stories behind songs. It's good, but as said before, would be better without the authors individual opinions trying to speak for everyone.

It's fun to have all the Stones Music in my hands. I hear the Stones sing their songs. It's part of my own childhood. It's full of nice memories. It's (part of) my life, my generation. In future it will fades away. And new Generations will come, "Live goes on..."
This is a pretty comprehensive rundown of the bands output. It seems to be pretty accurate; any omissions or errors you can find must be only minimal. The negative opinions, particularly of much of their latter output is not strictly just the opinion of the author but based largely on the prevailing opinions expressed by music journalists at the time. This, however, should not be taken a gospel, , I was rather surprised when I realised, only in recent years, that the critical response to Exile On Main Street (Remastered), on tis release, was largely hostile. I got is as a 13th birthday present in September 1972 and I and all my friends knew it was a classic immediately. I don't think any negative reviews would have changed my opinion once I had heard the music.
One of the great helps here is that it sorts out the tangled web of albums versions and all the non-album singles and b-sides that are littered over the early US London albums and various compliations as welll as clarifying the origins of tracks such as those on Metamorphosis. Although that album is definitely one for Stones completists only. This will also with track listings for recreating the essential UK (i.e. the real) versions of the bands first 2 albums - The Rolling Stones and The Rolling Stones No.2
