Fred Velez has written a new book on Monkees Fandom, ‘A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You 2: The Monkees From International Fan Perspectives. The new book continues The Monkees’ story from the viewpoints of fans from around the world. Includes many rare photos and interviews with the daughters of Davy Jones, Monkees friend Valerie Kairys Venet, The New Monkees plus More! “When I heard that Fred Velez was working on another book, I literally jumped out of my seat with excitement. His first was the ultimate Monkee fans’ book, “A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You: The Monkees From a Fan’s Perspective.” I was able to re-live so many great Monkee moments through his writing – many that I’d even forgotten about. The (Monkees) knew Fred and loved him. They weren’t the only ones who knew and loved Fred – all his fellow fans do too, and I am one of them. He is a dear friend beyond the Monkee world! Every band or artist in the world would be a little better off with a super-fan like Fred, who for over half a century has only given his love and devotion.” Excerpted from the Forward by Charles F. Rosenay!!! The book is available on Amazon.com in both print and kindle editions. Click Link Below:
