Books and Top 5 "Must Haves"

I have just received Turn It Up 2.0 (signed by Per) and it looks as if it is going to be a top read!

I have just ordered Days Of Wild By Per Nilsen (how good is this book, are there any reviews about?)

I have also just ordered dancemusicsexromance by Lix (can't remember her surname), is this any good, it got a fairly good write up on Amazon!

Can anyone recommend other titles.

What are the top 5 "must haves" if you are a Prince collector?

i can say so very easily that i really enjoyed "Purple Reign” / “Slave 2 the Rhythm” both by Liz Jones ... she outlines plenty & even graphically colours in-between the lines... who doesnt love 2 b filled in...*whoops bad choice of words hehe* biggrin ... although some of the passages do devilishly focus allot on his "presumed" personal life’s “accents” or if u would in ordinary not me terms hehe she dives in2 some touchy/iffy subjects ... bad..bad..media figures! whip hehe

Honestly the book obviously doesnt have Hamlet inspired elements lol but, it is ... a funky rrryde 4 reader lovas & info seakers smile

It's more of an encyclopedia than a bedtime read, but a very good compliment to TIU 2.

Subtitled 'Prince: The First Decade', it's by Per Nilsen - covers Prince up to and including 1987. Very good.

The Liz Jones book(s) is a bit sensationalist IMHO

Dave Hill's book from 1989 'Prince' faber and faber (ISBN 0-571-15061-6) is OK - but must be out of print by now (?)

I wouldn't suggest much else.
