To say that Karen had Joni's "full co-operation" is a stretch. If I recall,
in her emails, Karen _bemoaned_ the fact that Joni declined to give 1st hand
interviews. Joni's "co-operation" was in giving her friends permission to
talk about her to Karen......

(who provided dubs of Simon's wonderful "Second Fret" trees for Karen for
deep background. My most famous "leaf" ever- Joni's biographer!)
Paul Castle informed us:

Quoting from the press release:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This definitive biography has been written and researched with the
full co-operation of Joni Mitchell, who sanctioned first-hand interviews
with many of those closest to her: friends, family, writers and
collaborators, including former husband Larry Klein, long-time
archivist and guitar technician Joel Berstein, and musicians Graham
Nash and Tom Rush.
