This is the second edition of Eric Lefcowitz"s The Monkees Tale, the first biography published about the made-for-TV-band the Monkees. Released months before MTV sparked a Monkees comeback, this book became the definitive guide for fans of the group in the 1980s. A second edition was published in 1989 with a new cover and some added material including an updated history of the group and an interview with Don Kirshner. In 2010, Lefcowitz expanded and rewrote the book which is now called Monkee Business.
