Anyway, I'd recommend Bill Bruford, The Autobiography. Good on Crimson and Yes, written with economy and dry humour.
bruford's book sits next to a mighty tome on lennon, several on the beatles, the aforementioned 'bad vibes', a few of maconie's punning efforts, lemmy's excellent 'white line fever' & many others on my shelves. I'm fond of the andrew loog oldham books, both his own story & the abba book that apparently he had nowt to do with, but there's his name on the cover. many of mick wall's books. the stanley booth stones book, & a couple of others about them... 'hammer of the gods', obvs... copey's chronicles... books about or by members of gong, man, ELP, tangerine dream, yes, hawkwind, the fall, the clash, the slits (viv albertine's book is excellent), can, kraftwerk, sabbath, ronnie spector, nirvana....
what struck me about bruford's is that it reveals him, & not fripp, as being the mardy twat in crimson. I ran into him at a gig in camden (he was there to see his son's band, who were supporting the band I'd gone to see) & told him I'd been watching an unauthorised copy of his own band's "sight & sound in concert" or whatever it was, from 1978.... he gave me his business card so that my mate at the bbc could send him a copy too (this resulted in it later being published by voiceprint), & in his thank-you letter, he told my mate that he'd been very immature as a musician in that post-yes, post-crimson period, & that seeing this gig with dave "not that one" stewart, allan holdsworth & jeff berlin had done nothing to improve his self-opinion. in the book, which came some years after this exchange, he goes into this in a bit more detail, but the overall feeling you get from him is that he started out quite full of himself & didn't really get this knocked out of him until the second (80s) spell in crimson. for fans only, I'd say.
