sometimes these books can be really fun and interesting, like a self-published book i have called "if prince was my girlfriend" - it's mostly goofy stuff and weird collages, but all prince-related. it's one of my favorite prince goodies, just because it's so fun and silly.

most times, self-published stuff like this can be really amateurish, full of misinformation and errors, and in general badly put together. i always wait for the first batch of amazon.com reviews before i get any new prince book these days. i feel like there's not a whole lot more to be said on the subject of prince that hasn't already been published, so if i buy something new, i want something original and interesting.
