Hey Tristan I just got done RE-reading it, if that gives you any indication as to how well I reccommend picking the book up. It's definitely worth picking up for a survey crash course in northern soul history. there's some other books out there like Soul Survivors which focuses primarily on the Wigan (and also by the same author of Too Darn Soulful), and there's also the top 500 northern soul singles of all time by Kev Roberts; but I think that it has a major flaw in that it doesn't appear Roberts consulted many other northern soul DJs on that chart; but that's not to say either one of them isn't worth picking up...because they are. Especially if you are interested in learning more about Northern Soul.
