As a self proclaimed Ed-aholic, i picked up Val's new book, yesterday at B&N.
I gotta say, it's quite an interesting read!
Bertinelli was obviously within VH's inner circle since 1980, and her take on all things VH carry some serious weight (no pun intended, to miss Bertinelli, btw).
She offers something all the VH sagas & Ian Christe books never could, because she was there & married to the core creative member, Edward, himself.
Bertinelli comes across as extremely likable & down to earth.
Ed's no angel, but neither is she, and she sort of explains things as they were.
Val also has the good taste to admit that "Romeo Delight" remains her favorite VH composition!
I'm liking this book, though it seems my mom would as well, for other, less rock 'n roll reasons.
