Morrissey's Pre-Smith's writings

[Behrooz]

Hello Everyone,

I'm now to this forum. Thank you for having me.

I have deep respect for Morrissey as a writer. And because I have my own writing ambitions, I'm interested in getting to know his writings before forming The Smiths.

I am specifically interested in his early books, New York Dolls, Exit Smiling, and James Dean is Not Dead. If you have these in PDF, I'd be grateful.

I've also read that there's a fan-made compilation of his letters to music presses. If anyone has this PDF, I'll thank you in advance.

Take care and hope all is well.

Sincerely,
Behrooz

Welcome, Behrooz.

There's a good thread of many of Morrissey's letters to the music press, here.

I have no ownership of the book.
Other's efforts a long time ago allow it to be shared now.
I simply try to archive it all and make it available.
If you'd like to credit it, then simply:
"courtesy of Lamplighter at Morrissey-solo.com"
Would be appreciated.

Thank you, Dean. I plan to post the link to the NY Dolls book on Facebook. And I'll, of course, acknowledge Lamplighter at Morrissey-Solo.com as the source.

Take care,
Behrooz
