I haven't read a biography but I have read the very short and very good 33 1/3 on Low and despite focusing on Low it does cover a decent amount of information about Station to Station and goes into the beginning of his Berlin period. I would rank it as one of the most entertaining reads I've ever had, just phenomenal. I haven't read but one other book in that series but I can't believe any of them are as good as this one. Of course it helps that it's about the greatest album of all time.

There's a really good box set that just came out with a little bit of everything he's done. That might be a good way to go to determine what of his discography might best appeal to you, as he has jumped genres so many times.

It would appear that way ya. Here's a link to the amazon page of it. It sounds pretty interesting actually, I may have to check it out.

Rebel Rebel by Chris O'leary is my favorite so far. It goes song by song through the earlier part of his career. Fantastic deep song analysis and meaning coupled with biographic details covering his life.

Let me introduce you to the Best of Bowie DVD set. If you ever have the chance to get or watch this DVD set, I highly suggest it. Most of his music videos, including quite a few I had never seen before, up to 2002 (when the set was released) and a few live performances (including my favorite Queen Bitch performance).

33 1/3 is a series where writers pitch album biographies to Bloomsbury and the best ones get published. A Bowie one on Low was released back in 2005: https://www.amazon.com/David-Bowies-Low-Hugo-Wilcken/dp/0826416845

I would recommend this book for your friend.

The Complete David Bowie (Revised and Updated 2016 Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1785653652/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K1M-ybHEW2080

I'm in mobile so it's a bigger link than I would hope for but this is the most in depth Bowie book one could buy. I have it and am constantly learning new things every day.

I once had a piano book of Bowie songs that looked like the 'Best of Bowie year-year'. It's written as sheet music.

Also useful and well organized for learning Bowie songs, but mostly chords and guitar tabs: lovebolts

The "Best Of Bowie" has all the official videos through hours... including this one. https://www.amazon.com/David-Bowie-Best/dp/B00006SFLG

Not sure about videos for Heathen/Reality, but The Next Day/Blackstar are all on Vevo still.

That being said, I just looked at the Bowie Vevo and almost everything is gone...strange!

The 33 1/3 book by Hugo Wilcken about Low has quite a decent mix of information about the state Bowie and compatriots were in while recording Low as well as info about the techniques and instruments behind some of the tracks. Here's a link to that: http://www.amazon.com/David-Bowies-Low-Hugo-Wilcken/dp/0826416845/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453346390&sr=8-1&keywords=33+1+3+low

and I've heard good things about Tony Visconti's book Bowie, Bolan and the Brooklyn Boy but I haven't read it myself yet:

Camelcamelcamel (I linked to a UK page) is a site that can track Amazon Marketplace prices and notify when things are cheap.

It feels like a rehash of his older book. The pictures that he has used till now for the promotion of the book aren't new to me. Feeling a bit skeptical about this one.

u/auntietrex · 1 pointr/DavidBowie

This is the best book from the published ones I've checked out. It doesn't have every song from Ziggy but it does have a lot of other songs from that era, including Life on Mars and Aladdin Sane.

u/HeroComplex7 · 2 pointsr/DavidBowie

There is a book written about Low and that period of time. I really want it.

Gonna add my two cents in and say to get Nothing Has Changed, this version specifically. Though it's not exactly the most "casual friendly," it gives the best overview of his work as a whole.

Between the two you said I would pick Legacy if I had to. Both are bad in their own ways, but Best of Bowie has the gall to put Dancing in the Street on a Bowie comp that has so few songs on it already. I understand Legacy doing it, but if a comp with only 18 songs has DITS on it, it's out for me.

Also, Legacy has a lot more of Bowie's latterday songs, such as Lazarus and I Can't Give Everything Away. And aside from cutting down a few songs a minute or two, the single edits don't really bother me that much. I prefer the originals, but there's really no reason to hate the edits.

Overall, I would pick Nothing Has Changed though.
