BOOK - Prince: Life & Times by Jason Draper (Hardcover)

I'm not sure if there has been a thread already started about this but I just discovered the book titled "Prince: Life & Times by Jason Draper" over the weekend.

I have never been one to really miss out on anything released related to Prince, especially commercially released products but I just don't recall ever knowing about this book.

I stopped by Barnes and Nobles this past weekend and found it on display next to "21 Nights" on sale for $24.95!

The book is vey well put together - it's beautiful with vast amount of wonderful photos and information on Prince and his career. I've only read a few bits so far but I do give it two thumbs up! It's a nice addition to 21 Nights.

If you already have the book, let me know what you think.

Blessings to All! cool

I bought the book about 4 weeks ago. I have'nt had time to read it properly yet, just had a look at Prince quotes. I like the way its set out, like the pics too. I am readindg Dance, Music, sex, romance, at the moment, I still have'nt looked at 21 nites properly.

Yeah, It's a great book!

Well done. It is hard to capture all that Prince History in ONE book.

Yes it is a difficult task. However, I agree that this was well done overall. However, there were some inaccuracies that made me cringe. For example, when Vanity is referred to as being of "Hispanic descent." They could have done a little bit more fact checking. Those inaccuracies made me take the "new" information that I did not previously know with a grain of salt. That said, the layout/design and photos are great. I actually spent more time enjoying this book than 21 Nights, which was a disappointment to me.
perfection is a fallacy of the imagination...
