Just announced is a new book that seems to take a slightly different angle on Pink Floyd's history, and the facts, figures and trivia relating to the band.

Pink Floyd FAQ, by Stuart Shea, is published on June 1st 2009 by Backbeat Books, and aims to answer questions such as what were the band's most memorable gigs, and what was it like to be at a Pink Floyd show in 1967, in 1973, and in 1980. The publishers say that it "tells the band's story, dissects their most popular work, and provides little-known facts, all adding up to a provocative must-read for fans. With 400 pages of stories, history, observation, opinion, photos, and reminiscences from those who were there, Pink Floyd FAQ will discuss frankly what made the band great - as well as note their not-so-great moments - and their place in modern pop culture, giving credit where credit is due - and maybe puncturing some inflatable pigs along the way".

Sounds like it could be interesting, and we hope to have more information soon. In the meantime, Amazon are already taking pre-orders (at a discount in some stores cases) through these links: Amazon UK, Amazon.com (US/international), Amazon Canada, Amazon Germany, or Amazon France.
