For those of you who have not yet heard about it, here is a little information about the book as well as a short bio on Ms. Falkenberg:

THE MONKEES – CAUGHT IN A FALSE IMAGE by Lise Lyng Falkenberg

Remember the Monkees? Of course you do! In the sixties Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork starred in the famous TV series about a pop group and eventually turned into a pop group themselves, thereby becoming the first manufactured "boy band" in the world. Now the Monkees celebrate their 35th anniversary and they are still going strong.

This work originally started out as an interview with Peter Tork and developed into a complete biography on the Monkees. The main focus is placed on the Monkees' visual works, especially the TV show, the feature film HEAD and the TV special 33 1/3 REVOLUTIONS PER MONKEE, which are all submitted to thorough analyses. Furthermore, the book includes an annotated discography, accounts of the many concert tours as well as an annotated listing of each episode of the show and a bibliography for further reading. 166pp, some illustrations.
