Summary: Sharing Johnny With The World
Review: Bill Miller is an amazing man. He and Johnny Cash were friends for many years. They shared a love of collectibles.
This book shares some very rare memorbilia from Johnny and June's lives. Bill Miller has more CASH memorbilia than most anyone I have ever met. I am so pleased that he is sharing all of those treasures. They should be shared.
One thing you should know...Bill Miller is donating ALL monies, from the sale of this book, to the SOS Children's Village. That really speaks volumes.
God Bless Bill Miller. For his dedication to preserving the memories, for his ongoing support of Johnny Cash fans at his website (http://www.johnnycash.com), for his vision to help those SOS children, and for ALWAYS being a stand up guy. Johnny always told me that Bill was a good man. And he was always right. :)

Summary: AMAZING!!!!
Review: Bill Miller, who put together this book about The Man In Black from his own personal collection of Johnny and June Carter Cash memorabilia, knew him well, loved him and was loved by him for many years. The love that Bill Miller had for Johnny Cash is apparent on each and every page from the International Fan Club button with June's autograph to the last lyrics Johnny ever wrote. There were times when I laughed out loud.. and there were times when I had to hold the book upright to keep from staining it with my tears.An amazing book about an amazing man compiled by a friend of Johnny Cash.. What more could you ask for (except for it to go on for many more pages)!

Summary: THE REAL CASH
Review: Cash: An American Man exposes the real Johnny Cash for the man he was: a kind, caring, brilliant and sensitive gentle giant. As you peruse the beautifully illustrated pages of this masterpiece, you get the feeling that you are spending time with the Man In Black himself. He's sharing his poems, his private letters, lyrics and art work and so much more. You are given a glimpse into the soul of the American legend and international icon. The book, in addition to educating you about Mr. Cash, prvides an invalubale "museum," if you will, of so many important artifacts that Johnny Cash wanted the author to share with all of us. I read above that the proceeds from this book are going to a charity; so much more reason to buy it and forever honor the memory of this very special man we all love.

Summary: JOHNNY CASH'S DAUGHTER SAYS IT ALL
Review: I don't think there's any better compliment on this book than the one by Johnny's own daughter, entertainer Rosanne Cash: "Bill Miller's book is assembled with so much genuine respect and love that it feels like a family album. Even if no one else ever sees this book, I am delighted and grateful that it exists so that one day I may show it to my grandchildren."

Summary: "We're all the same in the eyes of the Lord...JRC"
Review: I too,watched the memorial on the Larry King show with the family members and the author,Bill Miller.It was an excellent program and showed how much the family liked and appreciated the book and their friend Bill Miller.It is obvious how much Cash liked Bill and how Cash gave him so many things,probably feeling they could be entrusted with him and one day be shared with all of John's fans and friends.It was only this relationship that lasted over 30 years,that resulted in this wonderful book for all of us to enjoy.Every turn of a page gave a new insight into Johnny's life.As great as the book is,I was left with the feeling that all we got was a brief glimpse;and how much more we would like to have.It seems Johnny sensed this and gave everything he had to his friends,family and fans and his Lord;and it seems that nobody ever got enough.There are many precious things in the book,especially the art by Johnny;which came as a great surprise to me.The poem he wrote after visiting June's grave and the song"My Lord Has Gone" shows he retained his talent right up to the end.
Thanks,John for all the great music you gave us;and thanks Bill for this fine book of memories.

Summary: AN INTIMATE GLIMPSE INTO THE LIFE OF CASH
Review: I was stunned when I found this book yesterday. I have been a fan of Johnny Cash ever since he released his first American record and have gotten more interested in Johnny Cash, the person, as time goes on. When I flipped this book open, I was amazed. It is a fabulous 'museum' of artifacts, many handwritten by Johnny Cash himself, laying his life out for all to see. The photographs are beautiful. The words are beautiful. After reading the book from cover to cover, I feel as if I have spent time with Mr. Cash. I feel like he's an old friend...or maybe even a family member. It is so interesting to see how Johnny Cash wrote songs; it is insightful to read his poems to his wife June Carter Cash---several when she was alive and one after she died. There is a letter written to his daughters when he was on tour in the 60's; letters written to him by Presidents...it's an awesome display of Johnny Cash---the performer, the legend---and the human being. A visual feast, I would recommend this book to anyone!

Summary: VERY COOL!
Review: Johnny Cash is way cool and this book is waaaay cool! I saw it today, got it today and my friends tried to steal it from me. The pictures in this book are amazing and it shows the Johnny Cash I didn't know existed. He's a kind-hearted soul who cared for all people, rich and poor and never forgot where he came from. I cried when I got to the end. Seeing how his hand writing got so shaky and reading the last song he wrote made me know that Johnny knew the end of his life was near. Anyone who loves music and America should go buy the book. You'll be glad you did!
