5.0 out of 5 stars This is it!, 27 Oct 2005
By A J Day (Cape Town, South Africa) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been a Floydian since 1971, but my quest to learn more about Floyd was born of a need to produce dialog for a Floyd show that I devised for South Africa. (Floyd have never been here) To this end, I began gathering all things Floyd.
This included nearly every Album (not duplicating too much) and every book I could lay my hands on! Most Floyd books obviously contain similar information. This book however, is well written, contains amazing detail (especially about Syd) and has got to be THE ONE!
Sadly, I read that Nicholas Schaffner had died recently and so I suppose that someone else has added the Live 8 sections to the updated version (I bought my 1995 version in 2002)
After reading "The "Pink Floyd" Odyssey: Saucerful of Secrets. I found "Inside out" by Nick Mason to be less than I had hoped for. (That would be more "inside information")
If you need ONE book on Pink Floyd ... "The "Pink Floyd" Odyssey: Saucerful of Secrets by Nicholas Schaffner is it.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Adequate Floyd but Sparse Syd Barrett History, 26 Mar 2007
The above review is pretty accurate when it come to The Floyd. However, the book is mostly heresay when it comes to Syd, passed down over the years from almost anyone who met him during his life. To have a clearer understanding about Syd, read "Lost In The Woods", "Madcap", And "Crazy Diamond". When you're finished with these three books you'll have a better understanding of Syd"s decline into his own little world. Most who knew him felt he would have eventually fallen into madness even without his high doses of LSD.
I feel I must warn you, if you develope a compassion for Syd you will feel somewhat depressed. Had he not hurried his decline with LSD who knows what Syd might have accomplished in the music arena!
