so many good Prince photo books posthumously, and we still haven't had any from Geoff Katz or Nicole Nodland.Im looking forward to this new one.

I feel like I have had this book on pre-order for ages!

Can't wait for this one!!!

I love Nicole Nodland. Such a lovely woman!

She is trying to get a book published.

She does keep people up to date on her socials.

I'd like to see one from Justine Walpole that captures his last years. I'm expecting that one to be bittersweet

He was seductive. Everyone who worked with him for a length of time seemed to fall in love with him. Randee is one of them.

Has anyone bought this book? I'm thinking of buying it, but it's very pricey, so just curious if anyone here has purchased it and your thoughts. Thanks.

Many have, including me although Amazon did not deliver mine to my default address and instead, the address that was default when I preordered it last April. Seven pounds and almost 400.pages. this is a serious book. Friends who are going through it now are very positive.

Thank you. I appreciate your response. I think I'll have to get this one.

Ordered mine yesterday from Amazon. Can't wait to see what's inside.....

Nice to have but very few jaw dropping shots/surprises like we had with the Before the Rain and Beautiful Ones.

You found the pics in The Beautiful Ones draw dropping? Randee has some of the sexiest pics of Prince I’ve seen. I love the book.

Yes. The never seen before photos of Prince as a child/teen and the candid photos were heart warming. Ran Dee's book does have beautiful polished photos, most of which we have seen before or they are alternate takes from photo shoots. Beautiful photos but very little of it was new. Worth buying but it didn't move me like the two books I mentioned.

I was a little disappointed with the book. Lots of pics are out of focus/blurry, not sure if that was intentional or what. Still some great shots, but not like looking at Jeff Katz photos, where every single one is gold.
