Springsteen fans can expect an expensive fall this year. Not only will we probably get the long- awaited box set. Now there are no less than three new books scheduled for publication. In August Frank Moriaty's book Bruce Springsteen should be available. No word on what this will contain, but the author has earlier written books about Jimi Hendrix and Johnny Cash, plus another one about stock-car racing. The secondbook, Tramps Like Us : Music and Meaning Among Springsteen Fans, has been scheduled for a while, but doesn't have a release date. The title sounds promising. It was written by Daniel Cavicchi who seems to have been in contact with actual Springsteen fans! Finally, there is the much talked about "big book of lyrics" which will probably see the light of day around the same time as the box set. It will include Bruce's own comments about his songs.
