Pre-order this groundbreaking reckoning with the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band from the award-winning, bestselling author of classic histories of the Beatles and Led Zeppelin.A New York Times Most Anticipated Book of 2026‘Spitz offers a good explanation for why the Stones have endured, filthy rich while continuing to present themselves as unwholesome, dangerous street rats . . . a treasure trove for Stones fans’ Kirkus (starred review)LADIES AND GENTLEMEN … THE ROLLING STONESWhat left is there to say about the Stones?A hell of a lot, it turns out . . .You think you know the story? Think again. Shorn of dulling layers of myth and received wisdom, an irresistible, clear-eyed portrait emerges of a band who, after sixty years, continue to break new ground and command our attention.And at the heart of it all is the remarkable, unique, fractious, codependent, alchemical bond between Mick and Keith, the Glimmer Twins. There’s been debauchery, decadence and death along the way. Not everyone survived the journey, but the band was always greater than the sum of its parts, laying down a trail of classic albums and landmark live performances in its wake.Drawing on decades of music industry experience and five years of dedicated research, critically acclaimed biographer Bob Spitz brings a fresh eye to the epic story of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world.In 2026 they remain in a league of their own. The Rolling Stones shows why.PRAISE FOR BOB SPITZ‘A treasure trove for Stones fans’ Kirkus‘Riveting ... startlingly well-reported and consistently engaging’ Boston Globe‘Irresistible … a captivating picture that hasn't been seen before’ New York Times‘Spitz researches like a historian and writes like a novelist’ Christian Science Monitor‘No other book captures it so well, understands so well...’ Greil Marcus‘Spitz delivers inside details and analysis with his well-known gift for storytelling’ People‘No biographer has dug as deeply or with such verve. . .

Before that, he represented Bruce Springsteen and Elton John, for which he was awarded four gold records.

In the blink of an eye, Bob Spitz turned fifty, finished an eight-year book project and a fourteen-year marriage, had his heart stolen and broken on the rebound, and sought salvation the only way he knew how. He fled to Europe, where he hopscotched among the finest cooking schools in pursuit of his dream.Spitz hit the fabled cooking-school circuit in a series of idyllic European villages, and The Saucier's Apprentice is a chronicle of his exploits. Combining an outrageous travelogue with gastronomic lore, hands-on cooking instruction, hot-tempered chefs, local personalities, and a batch of memorable recipes, Spitz's odyssey recounts the transformation of a professional writer-and lifelong kitchen amateur-into a world-class cook.
