Books
Greenaway wrote the book Zappa The Hard Way (Wymer UK, 2010), which was launched at Zappanale #21, August 2010. The work deals with Zappa's final tour in 1988 and how it was prematurely discontinued over internal troubles. He also wrote Frank Talk: The Inside Stories of Zappa's Other People (Wymer UK, 2017), which collects all interviews with people who knew and worked with Zappa over the last three decades. [2] In 2019 he, Mick Zeuner and Klaus Kühner also published The Zappa Tour Atlas (Wymer UK, 2019), a comprehensive list of all of Zappa's tours. [3], which has a foreword by Robert Martin. A limited (500) edition hardback coffee table photo book of Zappa’s last tour entitled FZ88 [4] was also released through Wymer UK a couple of months prior. It is based around the photos of Sergio Albonico, and features a narrative written by Greenaway.
