I was thinking that it would be good to have a place with every p-funk book listed, so I put together the list below. I got the idea after I did the post about posters. I didn’t include books about funk in general, only P-Funk specific ones.
My favorites are Aron & Marcel’s book, #1 Bimini Road, the oral history, the Wax poetics issue and Clinton’s own biography. Yeah that’s almost all of them 
. Amazing books

There was a series of mini paperbacks that came out about 15 years ago that were sold in HMV (uk) records, I read the ones about Sly & The Family Stone, Steely Dan And P-Funk they were really good lots of new interviews and quite a bit of juicy gossip. Sorry I don’t remember the titles as I read my friends copies.
Can anyone confirm if the Lloyd Bradley book ever actually appeared before the public? This book is a total mystery to me. It was one of the first books to be advertised yet I’ve never actually seen a copy of it materialized.
The late, great David Mills put together these Oral Histories collection yes I enjoyed them too.
I asked Lloyd last year and he said he was looking to complete it in 2019. Hopefully we’ll see it published soon.
Welcome to the forum @OooBooBeeDoop!
Great. I ran outta gas waiting for the “She-Funk” book, that was promised 20 some years ago lol.

Wow, thanks for this! So far I only glanced through the unofficial discography category. Looking good!
Would love to have a physical copy as well 
Thanks for checking it out, silentboatman - glad you like it 
. At this time, I only have it on Kindle - just getting my feet wet as an author. Hopefully, I will get to do the paperback route the next time.

There’s a book about the creations of Larry Legaspi out. He outfitted The Mob. He made those dog shoes The Dr had in the early 80s. I’m not sure how many P pics are in there but there’s bound to be something. There is some Labelle & KISS pics in it.
That’s interesting! Is it this book perhaps?
There are several books with chapters (or part of) dedicated to the p, maybe we should make another topic about those books (since this topic was meant more for books purely about pfunk).
Yes that’s it. I put it on hold at the local library.

books have been sold out loooong time ago…maybe its time for a 2.0 edition
I have no clue how many times that I’ve read that Oral Histories book. I bought that book the summer of 2001 at some local bookstore. The guy was cool enough to order it for me.
