I would suspect that those are two completely different books.  There's a
whole series of 'In His/Her/Their Own Words' books (I have the George
Clinton/P-Funk one, and the Beach Boys one is hilarious because a good
chunk of it consists of the band members slagging each other) that appear
to be compiled from a variety of miscellaneous interview sources.  They
seem to have been thrown together pretty quickly, but since they consist
100% of primary sources, they're usually much better than a "quickie" bio
(especially when the subject gives good interview, as Lemmy usually does).
