Don Breithaupt

144-page, 6 x 5 inch book in English by Don Breithaupt about the album that made Steely Dan a commercial force on the order of contemporaries like Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles and Chicago. A double-platinum, Grammy-winning bestseller, it lingered on the Billboard charts for more than a year and spawned three hit singles. Odd, then, that its creators saw it as an ''ambitious, extended'' work, the apotheosis of their anti-rock, anti-band, anti-glamour aesthetic. Including an in-depth interview with Donald Fagen, this book paints a detailed picture of the making of a masterpiece.
