Doggett's book on Bowie meticulously researched

Peter Doggett’s “The Man Who Sold the World” is not so much a book as it is a project — meticulously documenting the whole of David Bowie’s oeuvre during the 1970s, when his star burned brightest.

Doggett discusses the hits and misses along with the alternate takes, miscellaneous B-sides and a wealth of unreleased material recorded as Bowie transforms himself from a hippy-dippy folk singer into Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, the Thin White Duke and beyond.
