Author Luerssen, according to the book's preface, conceived the idea of writing a Weezer biography in May of [[2002]], following the release of ''[[Maladroit]]'', and subsequently contacted [[Karl Koch]], [[Sarah C. Kim]], and [[Pat Wilson]]. Despite Wilson's initial enthusiasm, [[Rivers Cuomo]] ultimately declined to participate on behalf of the band, later e-mailing Luerssen as the book was being typeset to clarify "I felt that it was not time for me to reflect. I sense that huge changes were about to come over me." Luerssen did speak with former members [[Matt Sharp]] and [[Jason Cropper]], as well as band-adjacent personalities like [[Ric Ocasek]] for the book. These interviews, along with material sourced from contemporary articles and websites make up most of the sources for the Rivers' Edge. Cuomo commented on the book briefly in [[Harvard Crimson interview with Rivers Cuomo - April 26, 2006|a 2006 interview]]: | Author Luerssen, according to the book's preface, conceived the idea of writing a Weezer biography in May of [[2002]], following the release of ''[[Maladroit]]'', and subsequently contacted [[Karl Koch]], [[Sarah C.
