A book for Walden Woods. A collection of essays about Walden Woods and Thoreau featuring a semi-autobiographical preface by Don. We do learn, though, that some celebrities can't write.

Great look into the early days of the scene that spawned the Eagles. Super interesting!!

A history of popular music told by the artists themselves. Includes interviews with David Geffen, Irving Azoff, Don Henley, and Glenn Frey. Some of the stories are familiar, but interesting nonetheless.

This is a guide to the rock and roll landmarks of Los Angeles. Quite a few sites of Eagles lore and legend are featured.

Another great book by a Los Angeles radio icon. Joe Benson has assembled a great annotated discography of the Eagles records. A Great source of trivia. This book also includes similar treatments for other  bands like the Allman Brothers, Buffalo Springfield, CCR, CSN, The Doobie Brothers, Doors, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

An innovative and comprehensive chronicle of the origins of rock and roll. Contains an Eagles tree with branches to Poco, Stone Canyon Band, and the James Gang. Frame incorporates stories and quotes into his hand drawn trees.

Interviews with stars. Includes the interview with Don Henley and Danny Kortchmar that is also featured on Mr. White's radio special. Has some funny stories about Don's childhood.

A stunningly beautiful chronicle of the scene the Eagles were a part of.

A comprehensive history of the band. 

Besides being married to the late Henley drummer, Ian Wallace and being the ex-wife of Mick Fleetwood, Jenny Boyd is also a respected psychologist. This book is taken from her doctoral thesis and explores the creative process. Don Henley contributed heavily to this book as did folks like Randy Newman, Joni Mitchell, Graham Nash, and Eric Clapton. This is a must read for those interested in just where those songs come from.

An interesting compilation by the famous songwriter. Bishop has collected an impressive collection of manuscripts tracing the development of well-known songs. Included are manuscripts by Jack Tempchin and other Eagles.

L.A. Disc Jockey and longtime interviewer/ supporter of the band, Jim Ladd,  reminisces about the beginnings of FM radio. The introduction is written by Don Henley who decries the state of radio and admits to his first acid trip. A super-interesting read for fans of rock and roll.  

A collection of quote about Texas music by Texas musicians. Contains many Henleyisms as well as a forward written by Henley.

A coffee-table book with tons of photos of Don's former home in the Hollywood Hills. That's his place on the cover before it was destroyed in an earthquake.

While this record of what it takes to make it in Nashville is interesting on its own merits, the stories Trisha tells a bout her work with Henley are hysterical and show what Don can be like in the studio.

The tome that Henley seems to have gotten quite a few of his recent ideas about sustainability. Provocative ideas. Scary statistics. Henley thought this was such an important book that when the hardcover went out of print, he personally paid to have 5000 copies printed. It's now available in paperback. 

The story of what happens when writers decide to be rock stars. The Remainders are a rock group comprised of the likes of Dave Marsh, Stephen King, Amy Tan, and Dave Barry. Their big mistake was inviting Don Henley to critique their debut performance. The ramifications of that are included in this hilarious account.



The author asked 50 people associated with the arts in California to offer their opinions about the Golden State. Don Henley is one of those interviewed and his remarks are quite interesting.

Great travelogue about taking the family on the road to see a bit of America. The author is a writer for a Richmond, VA newspaper and self-avowed Eagles fan. There's a chapter in here about visiting Winslow, Arizona. Henley is quoted. And....it links to The Fastlane!!!!!
