Review
The Introduction to The Jimmy Buffett Scrapbook probably sums it all up in the following: "Growing Older but Not Up". You can't summarize his output in just one word... Brand? Lifestyle? Escape (from reality)? Happy... maybe. I may have a preference for country, blues and boogie; but I do have the boxed set Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads; another compilation; and at least one album from the 90's.
When the other title Tales from Margaritaville... came up for a dollar at an opportunity shop I grabbed it.

Review
Of the 27 chapters, only the penultimate chapter went into some detail based on an interview with one of the major E-Street bandmembers: saxophinist Clarence Clemons. It was one of Clemons' last interviews before his passing in 2011. This is the one chapter I wish there was more of.
While the book is a good read and appears well researched, the book did not strike me as being as well prepared as Johnny Cash: the life. Especially when the author denigrates the work of journalists and music critics: that strikes me a bit as fanboy indulgence.
It's not all glowing reviews of Springsteen's life and work, however: an incident where he takes to task some roadcrew, described in this edition on p456 that happened around March 18, 2012, shows he is not without personal flaws.
