title: The Complete David Bowie
author:  Nicholas Pegg 
description: "Pegg eloquently catalogues Bowie's proclivity for making radical jumps from one musical&#160;and fashion motif to another." -&#160;<b><i>Publishers Weekly&#160;</i></b> <br><br>"All Bowie books must now be measured against Nicholas Pegg&rsquo;s The Complete David Bowie ... &lsquo;It is not only a pleasure to dip into, but also one of the few reference books that can be read cover to cover. Pegg&rsquo;s encyclopaedic structure mirrors the cut-up, mix-and-match nature of Bowie&rsquo;s own career, making one reconsider the very notion of a conventional rock biography." &ndash; <b><i>Times Literary Supplement</i></b><br><br> &ldquo;An indispensable guide for all serious collectors of David Bowie&rsquo;s music.&rdquo; - <b><i>BowieNet</i></b><br><br> &ldquo;Absolutely thorough, absolutely definitive and absolutely entertaining.&rdquo; <b><i>BBC Radio 5 Live</i></b>
