Actually 15£ is for the package including the book + a 5 tracks CD of the Flying Padovani
and for the book in electronic format alone, it's only 10£.

Actually I was very kindly contacted by the person who translate the book and made the page online to use my youtube videos from Henry + The Police live in Paris during the tour for their teaser. Of course I agreed and I proposed to post the news on the forum.

Thanks for that link, English-lion. It will come in handy in my pursuit of "Police-dom".

[/quote]

I've contacted by the person in contact with Henry. She asked me to post this reply :

"Henry has been a close friend of my husband for over 25 years. He did translate the majority of the book himself, but as it was taking him so long I translated a couple of chapters for him, and copy-editted all of it to correct minor language inaccuracies. However, the book is obviously all written by him and not ghost written.

Yes, Henry has self-published it. He has had the copies printed by a reputable good-quality publishing house rather than going through a cut-price POD outfit such as Lulu, and this is apparent when you see the quality of the printed books. However, the downside is that he needs to sell a lot of books at list price before he comes near to recouping his outlay, so please support him!"

So yes Henri translated it by himself !

Great news. I already purchased the French language version but will make sure to get the English one as well, so I can do better than understanding maybe 20%... :D (Hey, it's been about 20 years since I studied French!)

I received the English version today. 300 pages...

I just had a first quick look. A LOT more photos (dubious copyright management)! It's also an update including Henry's time with The Police in 2007.

I can finally read that thing :)
