The cover text & opening paragraph in the book...
What you hold in your hands is a landmark publication, our long awaited
extensive survey of the amazing Italian "Spaghetti-Rock" scene.
Although centred on the progressive rock scene of the 1970s, we have
attempted to cover all related genres here, amounting to more than just
another prog rock guide. Indeed, we believe that "A Fistful Of
Spaghetti" is the first English encyclopedia of Italian rock and
new-music to fully examine this too-often overlooked but amazingly prolific
and innovative scene in all its facets, tracing its roots from the
avant-garde and pop music, via the new freedom of the post psychedelic era
that gave birth to it.

A fund-raising campaign will be launched nearer the date of publishing.
Fund donations via PayPal to utle2uk@btconnect.com will be welcome, and we
may use the services of a "crowd funding" site as well. Once we get
a better idea of the costs involved we will then set up the rules as to
payment. Fund raising in advance and pre-orders will be essential, as it is
unlikely we'd be able to finance this all ourselves. Help from publishing
partners will also be considered.
