Yet another KA$H in biography, what the hell makes it so special to justify that price. Unless they wrote it with Prince's blood I am not interested.

.

Seriously the amount of greed, exploitation and Ka$h grabbing that Prince's death has caused. This grabbing da moolah from exploited fans needs to stop.

I really liked the little anecdotes next to the picture in the Guardian piece the other day and wish this man success with his book but that price is just outrageous when you can buy two great books by Afshin Shahidi and Steve Parke for a much lower price.

Also, what is a gel print? I´ve googled it and still have no idea.

I´m surprised that Mr. Whitman still remembers so many details so vividly.

The books are limited editions of 1200. 100 books will be special edition sold for $750 and they will have a darkroom silver gelatin print of 8x10 included in the book 1100 standard editions sold for $140. All the books are signed and editoned.

Pass.

How many more people we have never heard of, are going to come forward and say they have a book coming out. It's a cliche, next the groundskeeper at Paisley Park will have a book out called Purple Autumn Leaves.

Enough already, my bookshelf is heaving under the weight of substandard Prince books this year.

Mr. Whitman is legit..

But his Damn Prices Aint!

Check out the article published by The Guardian entitled "Before the purple rain: Prince in 1970s Minneapolis – in pictures": https://www.theguardian.c...are_btn_tw

Wow Latin thank you so much! Had never seen all of these black & whites in the series...only a couple. Where do you keep coming up with all this stuff? I am going to have to recheck your profile. Just seems to have too much fairy dust to be a regular person. Hmmmmmm....
