I have a couple good books about the Purple Rain era (e.g. Tudahl's and Light's books) and the '80s in general (e.g. Nilson's book). And it sounds like there are some books that give you snapshots of the '90s (e.g. Walsh's and Mayte's books).

.

But is there anything that touchs on the 2000s? The last 15 years or so of his career? The only one I know of is Prince: The Man and His Music, but Matt Thorne.

.

I was one of those fans who became disillusioned in the '90s and stopped closely following Prince. But after he passed away my interest was reignited, and now I'm back to being a hardcord fan. So while I'm pretty knowledgable about his music and all the behind-the-scenes stuff that happened up to about 2000, from there things get a bit murky for me.

.

I've purchased all of his post-2000 music, so now I am familiar with all the songs, but I don't know the stories behind them the way I know the stories like the evolution of Dream Factor and Camille into Crystal Ball and then into Sign o the Times. I'd love to read a book like Nilson's DanceMusicSexRomance or Tudal's Sessions Book about the 2000 era, but nothing along those lines seems to exist. Again, Thorne's book is the only one I know of that has even some detail on that era.
