Book:

A Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever: The Story of Spinal Tap

By Rob Reiner, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer.

Published by Gallery Books.

Published 2025.

ISBN-10: 1668079143

ISBN-13: 9781668079140

Description:

Since its original release in 1984, This Is Spinal Tap has evolved from a beloved cult film into a cinematic landmark: an all-time comedy classic that pioneered an entire genre, the mockumentary. Now, director Rob Reiner and his cowriters and costars, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer, tell the complete story of the movie and its fictitious band – how they met, how Spinal Tap came to be, and how their low-budget indie film took on a life of its own. Years after the movie first came out, the Library of Congress selected This Is Spinal Tap for inclusion in the National Film Registry and Tap went on to play The Royal Albert Hall, Wembley Stadium, and to over 100,000 fans at the Glastonbury Festival in England.
