David Bret is starting work on his second Morrissey book, with the working title "Return To Sanctuary". The book will not be an update of his 1994 biography Landscapes Of The Mind. It will aim to be an appraisal of various facets of Morrissey's entire career. David always maintained that he believed that Morrissey had the ability to semi-retire from the music business like the French singer Barbara for a number of years, only to make a comeback stronger than ever. With the slight media frenzy that is surrounding Morrissey here in the UK at the moment, Bret could be right!

Surely, his book is going to be the one that is worth waiting for, either that or another book containing more wonderful Morrissey photographs by Linder.

The revised Landscapes... went up to Southpaw. So Bret is gonna write a book about, erm, Maladjusted and the 6 year wait? Who is he kidding?
I agree with the above post. The majority of Smiths/Moz related books are cash-ins; eg-Cummins photos, Mark Simpson's ahem "psycho-biog". This is really depressing. The Smiths aside (only 2 books worth their salt are Rogan's and Goddard's), nobody's written a decent book on the solo years and Bret is NOT the man for the job. This must be a case of publishing houses noticing the media buzz right now and thinking of a way to cash-in and fleece your average moz-solo.com user.
Return to Sanctuary? Bret should return to obscurity more like.

as a fans of "The Office" with Ricky Gervais - I think it would have been FAR FUNNIER.

Landscapes Of The Mind accrued a laughable 4% of the vote. If that isn't an implicit message for Bret to piss off and stick to his Maurice Chevalier biogs then I don't know what is.
