(Applause Books). More than 30 years ago Marty Di Bergi (played by director Rob Reiner) could not have known that as he introduced his "rockumentary" This Is Spinal Tap, he was creating a work of genius that would rock on for decades. Consistently cited as one of the funniest movies ever made (and often spoken about by rock stars as one of the most frightening movies they've ever seen), This Is Spinal Tap has achieved cult status around the world. Spinal Tap: The Big Black Book will bring to the public, for the very first time, the story of the band in words, pictures, and removable facsimile memorabilia.
