wow, what a heavy book!

here's the outside cardboard:

and this is a box inside protecting the actual book:

the cover of the book itself was already shown on websites...

hundreds of pages with black and white photos, mostly with THE POLICE members / crew, fewer with artistical motives, fans...

a great source of information for me as Andy seemed to have been writing a diary - like Sting. dates and places seem to be described correctly.

only some tourdates (which are printed throughout the book accompanying the photos) are incorrect, but he didn't care to ask me... :)

I would like to know how the cheaper version will look like. If it's got all the photos and text then this will be manna from heaven. Again!

oh, and yes the book is numbered and autographed

Dietmar

Now post some pics from it.

certainly not
this has to be bought
there will be a cheaper version soon

Thanks for the preview of the book, Dietmar...I probably will have to wait for the next edition to come out so I am happy to get to see some of this one...Enjoy it!!

Is there any confirmation that there WILL be a "mass market" version...?

I actually have a copy of this edition ordered, but I need to make a decision in the next day or so to probably cancel this order because of lack of funds (I had them when I ordered the book, but they ended up getting used for something else....)

I was holding out in hopes that I would be able to find the cash, but I don't think so.....

In any case, I would feel a lot better if I at least could count on it coming out at a later date as a mass market edition.

I will wait for the cheaper edition.... 350€ are a lot of money
I really hope it will be a complete edition, otherwise I would buy the hardcover one....

Dietmar,
Did it come with a dvd?

no DVD

that was planned a long time ago and cancelled a long time ago, so I didn't expect any

would have made buying easier, but I can't resist photos anyway

dietmar

dietmar, you should write to tashen, too explain there are mistakes in the dates.

ha, do you really think they would reprint a limited autographed edition ?
:)

dietmar, honestly, “Yes”. It can be possible. I don't know if Andy knows about you, but for sure you impress Henry and especially Stewart with you huge knowledge. You are a kind of Prof. Doc. es Police. And I am sure you can give evidences that the biographers are wrong.
Of course you should get a free copy.

dietmar, have you hearn the new band by henry? They have a sort of interesting vintage and modern sound. You kould appreciate... even if it's not pure 'police'. haha

machs gut

If reprints were issued, the edition with the errors *would* go up in value . . .

Yes, I read somewhere that a version the rest of us peasants can afford will be available later this year.
