What books are there out there on prince, i know there are a few, but i was curious about what all yall have and have seen

Best ones in recent years have been

DMSR
Slave To The Rhythm
Posessed

Ol' school and now not very accurate(at the time they appeared more so!)

A Pop Life
Imp Of The Perverse

Possessed, by Alex Hahn is the best, because it shows what an ass Prince is.

2freaky4church - please will you change your avtar. You're scaring me.

I've got:

Turn It Up 2.0
Days Of Wild
DMSR
Possessed
Slave 2 The Rhythm

These r all cool books, DMSR is probably my fave tho. Per Nilsen is a great writer in my opinion.
