The Hep Stars were huge in Sweden in the 60s - do you think there's
justification for a similar book about Björn and The Hootenanny Singers?

CMP: I have almost completed work on such a book - although that book is
more a discography, with a less extensive biography part - but this will not
be a very extravagantly produced volume. The Hootenanny Singers book will be
published in English only; at least, that's my plan for the moment. The
group were huge in Sweden at the time, but the brutal truth is that the
retroactive interest in the specifics of their career is not so great. So to
answer your question honestly: there is probably considerably less
justification for such a book - not that I personally will let that stop me
from having it published! I also want to stress that although work is almost
completed, in terms of writing the manuscript, I don't know when the
Hootenanny Singers book will be published.
