Hipsters,
Le Jardinier remembers well albeit W2 thinks the project was the mooted 'Coffee Table Tome' which itself would be a great idea.
With regard to biography the only pure entry thus far is the long, out of print, 'The Bryan Ferry Story' by Rex Balfour (a pseudonym for Simon Puxley) which told 'The Taste Tarantula's' tale up to 1976.
As is W2's want, he recently had a dive back into it only to discover that his copy is signed by our hero ! Interesting because he has absolutely no memory of where he got the book and how it came to be signed!
That said, it's not a bad little ditty , Puxley wrote well and Ferry's style and music are front and centre of the short opus. It is also quite well illustrated. It can only be considered a start to telling the tale but one can't help but think that had the good Doctor lived, we would have got the whole enchilada quicker.
One can only wonder as to the identity of the ghost writer imprisoned in Ferry's visitors cottage. Windswept just hopes it isn't Mr. Bracewell. He has nothing against him per-se but Re-make/Re-model was as dry as sticks.
Shame we haven't got the finished article to read during our self-isolation !
Salutations a tous and Ferry on. We will shortly be back flying down to Rio.
