Anyone heard of this book from ?

'70-'74 Plus a Little Bit More!... A Photographic Memoir on the Early Years of The Allman Brothers Band.

Amazon lists it as unavailable:  https://www.amazon.com/Little-Photographic-Memoir-Allman-Brothers/dp/0578505673/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=sidney+smith&qid=1565702551&s=books&sr=1-1. It's not on eBay, so it looks like a tough one to find.

Apparently Sidney published it himself, but I can't find the "publisher" via Google. Sigh.

I just got mine in the mail yesterday. It is a must have for any Allman collector. Google Sidney Smith Photography and you can order it from his website. That's what I did.

thanks for the advice!!

in my Google search I found and interview of him. Some interesting stories.

but this quote...

Who from the musicians was most gifted front the lens? What was the strangest request where someone asked?

Well, Duane Allman was, in my opinion the best guitarist I have ever photographed. So, as far as being “gifted”, I’d say Duane Allman.

Look at this promo video: (i must admit i'm tempted !!):

https://www.allmanbrothersbookbysidneysmith.com/about/

Strange that the website still mentions this as a pre-order while forum member salcapitano already received it in the mail.

It's well worth having.
