Another good Memphis book is _It Came from Memphis_ by Robert Gordon....

lots in it about Jim Dickinson and Alex Chilton....
didn't know Dickinson had written a book...He is one of the most influential
musicians of the latemid century Memphis rock seen...but ICM is a good book
for any Memphis or Big Star or just plain RandR fan.
