Days of Wild by Per Nielsen

Is it possible to still purchase this brand new or, is it out of print?

Also, I recall reading that it picks up from where Dance Music Sex Romance finnished, is this correct and that the only real gripe was that the type is too small??

The Vault was a sort of update to all of Per's previous books. There may be some NOS copies of Days Of Wild laying around, but it's out of print for sure. The Vault is also out of print, though - and has the tiny font size as well.

If you can't get your hands on a copy of Days Of Wild (2000), seek out Turn It Up 2.0 (2001). But The Vault is the big tome if you can afford it. Days Of Wild does come with a CD with PDFs of Uptown Magazine #s 1-40.

Cheers. Can you give me an example of how small the font size is in The Vault??

Oh, Okay! I've pretty much decided to purchase Prince: Life & Times. Maybe I'll get Dance Music Sex Romance: Prince The First Decade as well, which I have heard nothing bad about.

Shame the latter hasn't had a follow up, covering the next 10 years!

Prince: Life & Times is really a nice book to have. Good pix and layout, plus it's up to date and covers side projects.

Just went to amazon.com and Dance Music Sex Romance is listed as New $18.95 and Used $32.74. Some even going for as much as $76.98!! Why would a used copy be more expensive?

Also, are the only differences between Prince: Life and Times and Prince Chronicles the name and that one is paperback and the other hardcover?

Yes. For some reason the US got the hardcover and Europe got the softcover and a different title.
