Orange Hippos! (Verlag)
978-1-80069-182-7 (ISBN)
Jimmy Buffett is an amazing character. Best known for his music, based around his 'island escapism' style, he is also an acclaimed writer and very successful businessman. Jimmy still tours (as he has done almost every year since 1976) and occasionally records with the Coral Reefer Band (his 2004 album License to Chill went platinum), as well as working on his considerable business and licensing ventures, which now includes hotels, beer, bars, and much more. But it's not all non-stop fun and games for Jimmy, he also works with a number of charities, and has performed at fundraising concerts over the years.
The Little Guide to Jimmy Buffett is a celebration of the man and his relaxed lifestyle (he rarely wears shoes on stage), drawing on many humorous and meaningful quotes from Jimmy himself, as well as his bandmembers, critics, fans and reviewers.
