Originally published in 2007, the 80th Birthday edition of Jimi puts a lot more emphasis on the pictures than the text (both are equally important in the Prince book), but I was surprised by how satisfying Janie Hendrix (Jimi's sister) and John McDermot's text was despite the fact that it accounts for maybe fifty pages on the 300-page book. Like All the Songs, Jimi is a big hardback with text and lots and lots of pictures. Not the heaviest book I've reviewed recently Prince: All the Songs is six pounds, but Prince's career lasted about ten times longer than Hendrix's. Whenever I write a review, I keep a notepad by my side, and my first note after picking up Jimi was "How much does this book weigh?" The answer is: about four and a half pounds.
