Elliot Smith book planned

A new book, 'Elliot Smith', is to be published which will feature rare and intimate photographs of the late singer-songwriter, as well as a CD of five previously unreleased songs recorded live in Los Angeles in 1997. The work, by photographer Autumn de Wilde, will also feature interviews with Smith's collaborators, confidantes, and other musicians inspired by his work. A foreword has been written by Beck and Death Cab For Cutie man Chris Walla. It'll be out in November.
