That book is great-very special just for the pics alone and the cd is great too

Strand Books in NYC has a few for 15$ but without the disc every now and then they get some with the disc for about 20-25

Thanx...just went to borders in NYC and bought 2 copies...great!

I checked Borders website and it has this listed for $50.00 and it's not in stock at my local store. Per website at least.
Maybe I should go in actual store and look. Maybe disocunt bin stuff is not on their website.
Would love to get this $4.99. With CD of course.

I bought two at regular price!

That leaves you with a little extra bonus cash to put towards the Opus Ipod.

Borders only has it for $50 here, too. But I found it new on Ebay for $9.00.

$7.98 @ Half Price Books since early Jan. You can make a decent CD jacket out of the slipcase.

Hey that's cool because there is Half Price Books across the street from Borders. So I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

It's not just America. Both an English language bookstore here in Amsterdam (the one at the end of Kalverstraat) and De Slegte (also Kalverstraat) had them cheap.

Not as cheap as $5, but for EUR20. I suppose there was shipping involved, but they are cheap here too, so I think the publishing house dumped them onto the market.

Do you know when you by it that the CD isn't there? I hope that my 3 come with the CD's since I have already scratched up the first one I bought. I know alot of people were not into that CD but I loved all the big horns and got a kick out ot the Scott Joplin intro.

Here in Australia, QBD books have copies also for $5 - and they are not moving. My original copy I brought from Amazon in US and paid a fortune with the shipping included to Oz - now I see it for the throw away price - LOL. But I did buy a copy at that price as the CD is good and nice to have a back up of that anyway. I actually did not mind the book too much, but it could have been alot better with more live photos and fans etc - a celebration of that concert gig. But hey.....this is Prince world.....

Just got my copy of the book which I bought just for the CD ($9.00)--getting ready to play it and see what happens...

O.K. that was 3 days ago; what do you think of it??

I just bought one. 90% off and this thing might actually be worth it.

The book is basically a glorified concert program. Decent pics that I'd never be interested in paying to see. The "story" shows how little Prince really has changed. Allusions to banging the twinz, as well as the hot hotel maid.

I like the pics, actually. It shows the insane clothing, nice hotels, makeup. Prince really lives in a different world than I do.

The cd, of course, is the reason I paid $4.99. I was pleasantly surprised to find it is a million times better than It Ain't Over (Joy In Repetition aside) It's pretty decent, actually. I enjoyed the little speech about getting a photo with Michael Jackson. Some great musical moments.

All in all, I definitely got my $5 worth!

bought a bunch of them. found several copies that were still perfectly sealed. going to sell them on eBay in 10 years to fams. except Borders just keeps coming up with more and more of them. there are about 20 mint copies still sealed there now. it may be 20 years before they're worth $6....

we sold them at work for five bucks...and i got discount on top of that

i bought a few copies for friends

this was after i purchased 2 copies at 59.95 (less staff discount)

it was originally released in Oz for 59.95, available from bookstores, how much did you pay thru amazon?

there's a bunch for $4.99 at Shrewsbury, Massachusetts Borders, sort of under a table. Maybe if the enclosed CD was filled with dynamite vault tracks the book would have had a longer shelf life. The CD sucks . . . .he needs to stop fucking with his live stuff.

i listened to it once...and thought..omg, if thats a Prince after show, im not really missing anything

I've seen it for £5 in branches of HMV in England.

cosmicday2010 said:

OMG I picked up my three there, on route 9, and my sister got a discount too so I only paid 13.00 for 3. Still have not cut any pictures out as I had hoped too. I love the CD i am not kidding either. I live in Worcester

My friend in California bought me one and sent it. She didn't know I already had one. It's perfect though. I never take the book out, because I hate to have people finger print up my stuff. But now I have a keepsake copy, and a public copy.

I bought a box of 20 (yeah i dunno why either) for $20AUD.

Do i win?

If that is equal to $1.00 a piece in American $$$'s , you sure do!!!!



Is there at least one other person besides me that likes the C.D?

I like it!

THANKS!!! You joined in 2002, I thought you were new, but you have so few posts, why??? Now I feel special that you responded to my post

I like the cd, too. It is a million times better than It Ain't Over

With Borders Rewards, I got it for 2 bucks. No one was gonna pay the original 50-something price tag for a bunch of mediocre glamour shots, "poetry" that are just lyrics to 3121 and Planet Earth songs we've heard a million times before, and a live CD. All my copy's doing is sucking up space on my shelf. Can't say I expected much else.
