Hi Ashara, I'm so sorry and sad to hear about Pippin ;-(
You asked about the 3 volume CNSY book - I have not had the chance to get it (is it available in the U.S. now?) and have been off the Lee Shore list for a bit so haven't heard the latest. However, the authors were all members of that list (and a couple were on the JMDL, too) and they had huge support from Crosby and the boys, and also Dave Zimmer, the author of the previous CSN bios, in putting together these volumes (which they worked on for years). It sounded almost encyclopedic, but also chock full of many new details and stories. There is also supposed to be a large section on Joni in the book. Some jmdlers, including Leslie Mixon and Phyliss, contributed Joni photos to the authors. I would love to hear more from anyone else who has the books. Kakki
