About the book:

The first of its sort, I Want You Around: The Ramones and the Making of Rock 'n' Roll High School provides readers with a detailed production history of this beloved film that draws upon extensive interviews the author has conducted with many of the people who contributed to the movie's creation, including lead actress P. J. Soles, director Allan Arkush, second-unit director Joe Dante, producer Michael Finnell, the Ramones' tour manager Monte A. Melnick, and Roger Corman.
