The Book:

Released in November of 2000, Cameron Crowe's loosely autobiographical screenplay for Almost Famous tells the story of William, a fifteen year-old rock journalist whose love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to tour with an up-and-coming rock band. The screenplay includes several scenes that didn't make it into the film, an extensive interview by Andrew Pulver entitled All Things Come to He Who Waits and a rare collection of black and white photos.
