[edit] Books
- Guided by Voices: A Brief History — Twenty-One Years of Hunting Accidents in The Forests of Rock and Roll
- Written by James Greer and published by Grove/Atlantic in 2005, this is the first biography of GBV authorized by the band.[11] Steven Soderbergh wrote the foreword.[11] Author Jim Greer, a former editor of Spin magazine, was also a member of the band from 1994–96 (he wrote the song "Trendspotter Acrobat" on Sunfish Holy Breakfast).[11][12]
- Bee Thousand
- Written by Marc Woodworth and published by Continuum Books in 2006, this book is about the 1994 album Bee Thousand.[13] The book explores the unusual production of the album, the lyrics of Robert Pollard, and the influence the album has had.[13]
