Any thoughts on these two books?  I have a LOT of Miles Davis books already.  Is this one special in any way?

I had a skim through the Gregory Davis book some years back and came to the conclusion that there was nothing in there that hadn’t already been covered in a number of books. Fopp were offering it at about £2 but even then I passed. I thought the book by Miles’ Road Manager covering that later period was better.
