Lucky Person I got to wait til November tho

STUNNING Photography (as we likely expected)... hilarious stories. Their relationship seems to have come from a mutually tender and admiring place. There's a few typos I noticed as I read through it... but nothing that takes away from this work of art. GET IT.

Without giving anything away do you feel the book gives you a glimpse or another side of Prince that you didn’t know?

I'll say no, the book reflects prince's spiritual side, romantic side, and funny side. Which is prince to the T 😉

I'd agree with that.

Thread stickyfied for discussion about Afshin Shahidi's book, and promotion / commentary on it.

There are already other threads on this book. That were posted WAY before this one.

Why the frown? Anyway those other threads are interview threads, this thread is for the people who have the book and can discuss the book

Well, they locked those threads that were being discussed and directed us here...

Thank you. I shall comment further as soon as I get the book in my hot little hands.

Fabulous.... bittersweet.

I feel the very same way!

The book is exquisite. I devoured it in one sitting. It made me laugh and cry.

I saw it’s getting mostly 5 star reviews on Amazon. I don’t have mine yet. If you have Steve Parke’s book how would you compare/contrast the two?

I don't have the Parkes book. This is the first Prince book I've ever purchased. Something about watching Afshin Shahidi's interviews and perusing his Instagram page compelled me to make the purchase.
