Zappa Books
The purpose of this site is to provide a little help to those that are looking for written material about Frank Zappa.
This is just a reminder for all of us about this amazing site called Zappa Books. The layout of the page has changed and some new features were added: you can leave your comments and rate books. It’s full of FZ-related articles, scans, whatever – extremely rich material, it even includes Bryan Beller’s article on Alien Orifice’s bass line (Steve, do you hear me?).
Thanks, afka.net, keep up the good work!

Nice…I’m pleased to announce I will most likely be doing my MA thesis on FZ starting this fall – sayonara, Indiana! – on the East coast. Great resources!

A quote from Alex:
Best of luck with that thesis, Alex. We certainly need a thorough academic understanding of the man and his music, warts and all, rather than a lot of the popular fly by night biographies that pass themselves off as such. You have your work cut out for you.

I’m well aware of this – hence my decision. I studied the Kinks for my senior project, another band I feel suffers from the “not enough good books out there” syndrome, though a great book on Ray Davies came out last year by a guy named Tom Kitts. Excellent book, actually.
But with Frank, I feel like a good analysis is long overdue. Considering what we have to go off of, anyway.
