with the current economy and people losing jobs left and right do you think that this may have been a bad time to put out a book with rich glamorous shots that comes with a 50 dollar price tag?

just a thought

Bad in what way?

There's never a bad time to make money.

I just thought maybe most people can't relate to it. Like do I really have 50 bucks to spend on a book with pictures of someone so rich at a time like this, 50 bucks is a gas bill paid, or at least partially

i think organzing a event that cost over $300 bucks even tho it was 4 charity was more of a bad thing 2 organize during this financial hardships

it cost me $60
and i think that interview would make it a bad time

if your talking about the economy thing
it didn't stop any of us from buying it
and there are a lot of us

I don't think they meant is it a bad time for prince, but rather is it a bad time for us to spend $50 on it.

NDRU said:

Okay, well...that's a personal choice that really has nothing to do with Prince.

The worst time to spend $50 on it is when it's available for as low as $28-30 from different online vendors.

It was only 35 dollars at "Target." A book is a luxury, like many other things are.

No-it's a nice book. Let's leave the economy out of this-can't blame that on Prince too

Mine only cost 30 dollars, and if you really want something you'll find a way to get it. Things are not gonna get any better anytime soon, next year this time you'll be saying "these were the good old days."

we havent sold any in the bookshop i work at- except 4 mine and chillis copies...

but rock/metal/rap books fly off the shelf

How many copies sold? Anyone know how world wide sales are going (or not)?

I hear it is selling by the tonne in the gay sauna scene. (from a friend)

I think the people who were expected to buy it have bought it. Poor economic times weren't going to prevent them from purchasing it.

Mine cost £15 new from amazon, which at the current exchange rate is $22.

Nobody should be spending 50 bucks on it when it's available much cheaper. You just gotta shop around.

prb said:

Im good. I'll try to get over ure side of the river at some point and say hello And for goodness sake get ure computer fixed

I think the 3,153 views of the 'ACHTUNG!!! DO NOT POST SCANNED IMAGES FROM PRINCE'S NEW BOOK ON THE ORG!!!' thread is probably a higher number than the sales of this book.

chillichocaholic said:

unfortunately, thats on the end of things to do right now

prb said:

It's never a good time for a crap photobook like that. Sheesh, his fans weren't buying that crap when it was a) well done, b) cheaper and c) Prince was actually popular and relevant. And d) there wasn't an internet where you could easily find plenty of pics.
