Really looking forward to this one. After listening to the latest Peach and Black podcast with Duane Tudahl, it is crazy how much work has gone into this. It almost makes me wish it had a wider scope to cover all the earliest years in the studio, because I think it'll be harder to info on the later years when Prince had Paisley Park to play with.

Anyway the book seems to be slightly delayed on Amazon for me too, but hopefully not for long. One thing I'd love to know is whether the Kindle version is alright. Usually for any book with photos or diagrams, the e-book experience is kinda dismal so will probably keep waiting for the paper copy.

The Kindle version is fine for me. I know it's good to have the book itself but the e-version works better for me personally. Reading it on the go on my iPad or phone in work etc, any chance I get really, which you can't do with a big 500 page hardcover book. Plus you don't have to wait on Amazon

Why hasn't Amazon got the book in stock yet? This is very unusual

That happens occasionally. Everyone involved with printing and getting it out has assured me that it is coming so I'm hoping it is in everyone's hands soon. I've been waiting for 20 years for this, so I completely understand!

Until then, the ebook is for sale on Amazon.

Thank you again for the interest and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it... once you get it! lol
