Bob Marley 

The biography

Softcover January 1, 1983

Stephen Davis takes you from Marley's birth through the Trenchtown years, the high points of fame, to the final years. There is a lot of detail about the big tours and interesting insights into the reality of the music business 'back in the day', with many reggae musicians featuring in the story. (There are some good photos of all the usual suspects!)
This is a book for anyone with more than a passing interest in Marley or early reggae
