I get the feeling that this is far too learned an anxwer, that FD was
probably what they were looking for (or at least expecting).

Dear Boy is must reading for serious Who fans.  In its way, it's the best
thing ever written about The Who or related subjects.  You also must get
the definitive show reference, "The Who -- The Concert File".  Ed Hanel's
discography was a Bible in its day and still has a lot of useful
information.  "Before I Get Old" is enjoyable reading but has errors in it
and stumbles in its very short treatment of the post-Keith Who.  Barnes'
"Maximum R&B" is a very good insider's look at the band (and the 1982
edition comes with a flexidisk of Pete's "Pinball Wizard" demo).  Horse's
Neck is interesting reading but is fiction by Pete, not about The Who.
