Summary: Excellent
Review: A collection of intelligent and informed essays from the late, lamented magazine. Not necessarily for the casual fan, but rabid BB admirers will find tasty food for thought in these pages.

Summary: Keeping The Summer Alive
Review: A nice set of articles detailing certain songs, albums, or people. As much as anyone else, the authors posess great knowledge and love for this magnificent body of music and the men that made it. This book is a little pricey for its size but it is fine reading for those interested in the Beach Boys.

Summary: Great Read!
Review: Because I have begun my doctoral thesis on this very subject, I found that this critique has opened windows that heretofore I have only imagined. Mr. Cunningham must have known his subjects well (or developed a preternatural insight into their oeuvre) and also must possess an astounding knowledge of music, both classical and modern. I would recommend this book to anyone with more than a superficial interest in the subject.

Review: Don Cunningham and Jeff Bleiel have assembled some of the best Beach Boys writings here in this book, "Add Some Music To Your Day." I wasn't around to read these the first time in the "Add Some..." fanzine, but this is GREAT stuff. BRAVO!

Summary: Add Some Music To Your Day
Review: There are a number of books which concentrate on the tabloid lifestyles of one of America's most popular bands. Thankfully, this is not one of those. This book concentrates more on the music and not on the three ring courtroom/psychosocial battles going on around the Beach Boys. This is good reading, especially with many long-out-of-print Beach Boys music finally seeing the light of day. Cunningham has a great deal of knowledge about the music and this is recommended reading.
