Genesis, one of the most successful, influential, and enduring rock bands of all time, has a rich fifty-plus-year career that has spawned various forms of related literature.

It includes a treasure trove of exhaustively researched quotes from the band members, conveniently aggregated into one place.

Its comprehensive approach and engaging writing style make it a valuable addition to any music library. Whether you are a seasoned Genesis fan or a newcomer seeking to discover the band's legacy, this book will captivate and inspire you.
