Heres my collection of Prince books to date. I am missing a few, most notably The Vault and Possessed (The former I can't find, latter I have read from Library several times). Also missing Thief in the Temple, not too worried, Prince inside the Purple Reign by Jon Bream, the Michelangelo SOTT thing, the Barnes and Noble picture book (NZ does not have Barnes and Nobel) or John Duffy one.

Newest Lot - Bought in 2008 -2013 period

DMSR - 1998 but bought in 2008, brilliant book on the first decade, probably the best ever 10/10

Chaos, Disrder and Revolution - 2010 its not bad, but a bit boring covers all the facts well - 7.5/10

Prince - Matt Thorne 2012 - purchased new November 1 2012 - Another brilliant book on his music, outtakes and all, a bit technical but still great - 9.5/10

The Music and the Masks - 2011, Much better than expected, okay he makes a couple of glaring errors and skims post 96, but its still very good and added some more to the Prince story, its a fairly good read - 8.5/10

Not present - Possessed, complete if bitchy and witty assessment of his career - 9/10 A scintillating page turner never the less.

Does anyone else wnat to review their purple libarary too.
