I just want to post this as i found it to be good at describing prog, it mainly wrrites and focuses on the Lamb, but also gives nice overview on prog as a whole as well.

I recently went over to the College of Fine Arts (at the University of Kentucky) and met a music professor who wrote this:

oops, I forgot to click on the original link.  Well, I've met the author, and he's very knowledgeable.

So ....what are the best overall books about prog rock ever written....?
I only have Jerry Lucky's book Progressive Rock Files ,  and Joynson's Tapestry of Delights....which is more of an early music collection than a prog book.

I've also got Ed Macan's Rocking the Classics: English Progressive Rock and the Counterculture on my list.  The reviews are very positive.

Very interesting and well-written book, though I don't always agree with his insights. A must-read for prog fans in any case.

I have enjoyed e.g. Prophets & Sages by Mark Powell,
The Strawberry Bricks Guide to Progressive Rock by Charles Snider
and Scented Gardens of the Mind: A Guide to the Golden Era of Progressive Rock (1968-1980)
 in More Than 20 European Countries by Dag Erik Asbjörnsen.
The latter is a massive tome and costs hundreds of euros (luckily I had it on loan from a library).





Embarrassed  ...But of course my personally dearest (and practically the best fulfilment of my idea of the most user-friendly) prog book is the one with my own name on the cover.

Aamunkoiton portit. The book is in Finnish, naturally... The title means The Gates of Dawn, taken from the first album in the 1967 - 1979 timeline. (My collaborator page shares some further information.)
