Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind , whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X. Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana -- the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates -- now updated to include a new final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994.

Originally published: New York : Doubleday, 1993.

Includes discography (pages 357-358).
