I posted about this a short while back in the "New Articles, Interviews, Etc" thread but it died on the spot, so here it is again with a thread of its own. I must confess (and I can do that here!) that I have no interest at all in TBBbTBB. The principal reasons being a) I've stopped buying physical books of any size, let alone doorstep format, and b) Howie rubs me up the wrong way -- let’s say we're on different wavelengths. A Book of Brian is the brainchild of Jacob Hobbsen. This online work in progress falls into four main sections: "A History of Brian Wilson" (18 chapters so far), "Brian Wilson in Perspective", "Murry" and "The Founding of the Beach Boys" (four chapters each). Right now I'm six chapters into the "History". My intention is to read two chapters a day, life on the ground permitting. It's a fascinating read so far. bookofbrian.substack.com/archive

Wow, good find, jk! Sorry I overlooked your original post. This looks pretty good. The author, Jacob Hobbsen, did his homework. He has numerous references for each chapter and he's not adverse to adding his own opinions. This...biography...really flew under the radar. Can we get Mr. Hobbsen to join the board?
