Reckless Road is the best one IMO

The band that time forgot was shit i thought
I actually quite like Mick Walls biography of axl...it's worth a read if you can get around the bias in his writing

The best GNR book to read is the one that hasn't been written yet.

Reckless Road is the best by far. I liked Slash's book, but not as much as I wanted to. A lot of people really love it though and I'd reccomend it.
Don't bother with Watch You Bleed or Mick Wall's book. It's just stuff copied from articles and then a bunch of assumptions. I wish Duff would write a book like he says he is going to.

Reckless Road is awesome, but my favorites ones are The Photographic History by Robert John and The Pictures by George Chinn.I think these books are essential for any fan.There is Appetite for Destruction - The Days of Guns N' Roses by Danny Suggerman that is great too.

Reckless Road is just a photographic history mainly of the band from 1985-1987, with interviews from Slash Duff and others from that time about the formation of the band and the making of 'Appetite', its very good, but the only real stuff in it about axl is just lots and lots of photographs, nothing about him or the band

The first half of Mick Wall's book, W.A.R. is good.
Slash's book.
Reckless Road
That's all you really need.
