Absolutely fascinating tome about a bunch of Frank's songs and the methodology and meaning behind them.
A must read for any fan

This was the book that I wanted him to write in the first place—the stories behind the vast majority of my favorite songs and how they were created. In that, though, I kind of failed to realize how deeply personal it would be for me to read it, as there are a lot of reasons why these songs mean so much to me. It was incredible, honestly,earning why he wrote some of these songs because they matched up so well with why I love them so much.
Aside from that, this book was frankly hilarious—he brought so much humor and sarcasm into the writing of this that it felt like I was at a concert all over again. (Also this book made me really want to go to a concert all over again)
All in all, this book was incredible and I am so glad I forked over the extra twenty books to get the special edition of it, as it will be one I want to keep for probably the rest of my life.

Definitely try this at home
It's not a shock that I love Frank Turner, so it should also come as no surprise that I love his writing as well. This book goes back through some of the songs he's written,and goes through the musical and lyrical theory. So, double bonus. Triple bonus? IT'S INDEXED! Be still my nerdy librarian heart
