Prince Chronicles

Anybody know where I could get a copy of 'The Prince Chronicles' by Jason Draper, I live in Northern Ireland and it's not listed on Amazon or Play.com, I found it listed on the Barnes & Noble website but I doubt they'd post to UK, I'd really like it in hardback. Any ideas anyone ??? sad sad

Prince: Life & Times, is what it's called. It was on sale at B&N, and possibly Borders, for a long time here in the US. By the time I heard of it here on the Org, it was already on the sale rack for half off. I THINK it is about $20 or so on sale. Your best bet is to trust someone, Pay Pal them the money (or whatever way works), and have them send you the book. However, have you tried eBay? Not sure who'd be hocking it, but it might be up there somewhere.

Be sure to check Amazon.com's used section. I've found some very hard to find Janet stuff that way, and it was damn near new condition (although I don't think "damn near new" was the official description lol).

Thanx Ernest - I checked Ebay but it's not up, do you remember if the book was still in hardback format when u saw it on sale? Do they still have it?

The book is huge, there wont' be a softback. It's a coffee table book. It's roughly the size of 21 Nights.

It was retitled Prince Chronicles for UK distribution and repressed as a paperback. If you want the same book as a hardcover, get Life And Times off of a US site or eBay.

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

That big thing is in paperback? WOW, who knew! I'm glad I have a hardback of it. I don't like big floppy books. I bought this book

...and it's big but it's softback. That's the only thing I hate about it.

Yeah, it's just a big picture book, but there is a lot of text in there too, and a lot of fold out pages. The cover seems a bit cheapy to me. The background design is felt or something. Just odd, and cheesy. Reminds me of something from the 70's.

Yeah, for some reason the title and way it was bound changed for the UK. It's still only hardcover in the US. I really like this book. It covers various side-projects too, which adds to it's fun factor.
