The story at the end about Prince being excited about taking a walk down the street in NYC without security or in a limo...I thought that was quite moving.

Check out this new article published by BookTrib entitled "Photographer Afshin Shahidi Gives BookTrib a ‘Private View’ of Icons Prince, Beyonce in an Exclusive Interview": https://booktrib.com/2017...interview/

Keep your eye on this site and this writer. Big things afoot.

Thanks Latin! I entered the contest!!

I'd love to be just walking down the street and meet the P at a pedestrian crossing!

Very nice interview.

Very nice interview.

Nice... thanks, Latin!

Great interview, thanks Latin.

Good one thank you!

Latin thank you for this beautiful article. It was nice to see that Prince in his later years was enjoying something as simple as a walk in New York City. I was moved when I read the part about him smiling and being himself on that walk. Fame hit so early for Prince and I can only image the crazyness through the years whenever he went to do something and people would not leave him alone.

Nice read. Prince was definitely into taking photos. Love it that Shahidi gave him a camera. It must have been hard to find a good present for Prince.

Thanks Latin! This article shows that Prince DID have an affinity for photography

I was thinking the same thing the other day

BookTrib: How did Beyonce come to write the foreword?

"Lastly, and probably most importantly, I wanted someone who had reach with the younger generations, not to sell more books, but to bring attention to Prince so they will, hopefully, be turned on by his brilliance and to continue his legacy."

He gets it.

I ordered it back in March when it was announced and buying it from the UK, just checked my orders on Amazon and it confirms a delivery date of 15th Nov 17.

The pre-order price is a little cheaper than the current order price, so possibly I've been put to the back of the queue whilst they fulfill the higher priced orders? Don't know if it works this way but that would suck if so.

Hoping it's a temporary glitch and it reverts back to a delivery date of 24th Oct, as I'm looking forward to this one.

Ordered in March from Amazon and still says it will be released on Oct 24th.

Nice interview. Thanks for sharing Latin.
