Mister Mercury by Peter Freestone with David Evans ISBN 0 9533341 0 4
Freddie Mercury |
In my opinion it's the best book about Freddie. It has been written by his
true friend. Peter Freestone was Freddie's PA for 12 years. In
contrast to Jim Hutton's book written in the main about the author
himself, this one is about Freddie -
about his habits, tastes, and, of course, about his work - touring,
composing songs, making of videos, creating of album covers. I was
glad to know that both 'Rain Must Fall' and 'Bijou' were written by
Freddie. Thank you very much for the book, Mr Freestone! Introduction Review by Mark Birnage

Freddie Mercury. A Kind Of Magic by Ross Clarke ISBN 1-874130-01-9 |

Freddie Mercury. The Definitive Biography by Lesley-Ann Jones ISBN 0 340 67208 0 |
Freddie's biography from his childhood till the death.
The author spoke to very many people who had known Freddie.
The book is very interesting, but some facts are doubtful
and somewhere definitely false.

They died too young. Freddie Mercury by Simon Boyce ISBN 0-75251-105-X |
A lovely small book; information is mainly taken from As It Began by J.Gunn and J.Jenkins. Nevertheless there are some rare pictures in it. |

Freddie Mercury. The Show Must Go On by Rick Sky ISBN 0-00638-435-8 in English
ISBN 5-85029-013-3 |
The first ever published book about Freddie. They say that Rick Sky
had written it some months before Freddie's death. Many stories from
this book were then re-telled and re-published by other authors, so
now it's hard to distinguish the truth from the the fiction. You could buy this book in English:

Mercury And Me by Jim Hutton with Tim Wapshott ISBN 0-7475-1922-6 |
Jim Hutton was Freddie's long-time companion. It seemed to be
interesting to receive information directly from one of the closest
Freddie's friends, but actually the book was written by a journalist
Tim Wapshott who somewhere had coloured the truth. I also can't
forgive him many details concerning Freddie's illness.
Freddie definitely wouldn't be happy to read such a book.
The book is out of print, but you could try to find it here
