[[File:Ed-Chang-Cover-scaled.jpg|450 px|right]]'''"DEVIL TAKE THE HINDMOST – The Otherworldly Music of Allan Holdsworth", a book by Ed Chang, is now open for pre-orders worldwide!''' | [[File:Devil Take the Hindmost (EC).jpeg|200px|right]]UPDATE, NOV 2023: This is a long overdue update about this book. Ed Chang has written the most comprehensive account of Allan's career. In large part it is based on existing sources that have been synthesized to create a musical biography, but it also includes some original research, such as Ed's own musical analysis. Originally published in his blog "Thread Of Lunacy", the current version of the book has been updated to include releases up to 2020. It exists in two editions: One e-book edition, and one print-on-demand edition. More info is found on Ed's original blog address: https://threadoflunacy.blogspot.com/ | ||

"My book on Allan Holdsworth is available for pre-order. I think it’s really good and am very proud of it. It’s unique among music books in that it concentrates on the music of the artist rather than his personal life, but is not an “instructional book”. It’s more like a map of Allan's musical mind - and a portrait of his relationships with his many great collaborators." -Ed Chang. | "My book on Allan Holdsworth is available for pre-order.
