I'll wait till you can buy it for 10€ or less if it's true that there is only one picture in it of Mick Taylor.

Hah of course and Taylor only has one facial expression so only one photo is needed.

Why they don't make an official "Recording sessions book" Beatles style with all the date, personnel, songs etc., it should be very interesting!

There isn't gonna be a damned thing in this book that I, or most of the people here, don't already know. Look at the last few oversized and over priced books they've put out. All variations of the same thing.

Well, hmm yeah, they could still write about the Beatles than.
Come on, look at us, look at all those threads here. We'll just never get enough.
So bring out the book . .

from another thread, from forbes dot com...

"And the news is that Taschen Books is preparing a mega volume of Stones
photographs set for a January release. You know Taschen–their books have to be
read on pedestals because they’re oversized and magnificent. The Taschen
editors have gone through every known archive, I’m told."

Visually, if Taschen holds true to form, this should be THE book!

slightly OT:



On the eve of their induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April
14th, one of the finest rock groups to emerge from Britain, the Faces and
fine book publishers Genesis Publications are proud to announce Ronnie Wood,
Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones US retail release of the story about the band
in their first ever book.

As part of the US retail debut, internationally renowned Designer John
Varvatos is hosting the Faces' Ronnie Wood and Kenney Jones in-person as part
of the launch of the limited edition book along with Publisher Nick Roylance
of Genesis Publications on Wednesday, April 11th, 2012, from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
at John Varvatos 315 Bowery Boutique, 315 Bowery in New York City
.

And, on the afternoon the day before their Rock Hall induction on Friday,
April 13th in Cleveland, Nick Roylance, publisher, Genesis Publications and
Faces will present the book to Jann Wenner, publisher of Rolling Stone
Magazine as well as the owner of Men's Journal and Us Weekly magazine and
co-Founder of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame; and, Terry Stewart, President
and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to the Rock Hall Library &
Archives continuing the collection as the only museum in the United States to
have the entire Genesis catalog.

The limited edition book features original text by Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan
and Kenney Jones along with over 200 photographs charting the band from its
formation in late 1969 to its eventual demise in 1975. The photographs,
sourced from renowned rock and roll photographers from all over the world, as
well as the band's own personal archives, are a stunning mixture of the
iconic and never-before-seen. They capture the chaotic intensity of the
Faces' career: the incendiary live shows, the on-stage laughs and off-stage
high-lives, the private jets, groupies, drink, drugs, clothes, haircuts and
Holiday Inns.

Every numbered, hand-bound copy is personally signed by Ronnie Wood, Kenney
Jones and Ian McLagan.

(odd no rod)

Agreed. But even if they do a kick-ass job, I don't think they could possibly
equal Rockman's "some kind of stones connections", one of the best e-books
ever. If it was up to me, I'd sticky Rocky's thread until at least June 2013
and re-title it too. Something with "50" in it. (I wish I wish I wish there
was a downloadable version)

I'm with you mostly. I may pick it up in a year when it hits the bargain bins but there is no way I'll pay full price for another Stones picture book.

I'm still licking my wounds for buying LIFE in hardcover.

Before the internet came along Stones books were interesting to read / look at, and there weren't many of them around. It was rare to find one in a local book store. Now we have the internet then there's loads of pictures and knowledge to be shared (on boards like IORR) so as mentioned above there's very little that we don't already know.

What we know is quite imperfect and I think there's a whole lot we don't know, but due to various reasons like fading memories and people not wanting to share things it's stuff we are most likley never going to hear or read about.

Fair enough but I still think we know vastly more now than we did pre-internet. In the 80s, I only had Roy Carr's Rolled Gold sleeve notes and the odd book to go by, in a sense the Stones magic was stronger then because I knew less and the rest was left to my imagination. I don't know if this was a good or bad thing. Now the internet has swept this all away and the sum of all our knowledge, youtube Stones clips and all, is available to all fans and somehow being a fan is not the same anymore (or perhaps I've grown older and I'm less of a fan than I was back then).

That's the problem with message boards. Some of us THINK we know everything there is and that we've seen and heard everything there is. I have a feeling this book will share with us new and exciting images.

I guess you've changed your mind in the last 23 hours re: your requesting BV to deactivate you. A bit fickle don't you think?

I think about this a good bit too. There's many, many posts I've seen (or written myself) through the last years, where it's been said " Oh wow, for years I thought they were saying so-and so; or for years I thought they laid it down live, and it was Brian who played the guitar.." often these images have been strong, and instrumental in shaping the mystique and love for the band.
I wonder about the Net; I love you tube, I love the interaction and lessons learned from worldwide fans - but this thread right here e.g.: now everyone on the planet knows every book coming out, on what date; has already decided if and when to get what, or not. There will be no more surprizes in the book store. It's a toss-up.

The cover for the book has slightly changed, in that someone now has taken
the time to actually do the embroidery (nice job, ronnie!), rather than it
just being the pattern:



more pics from the book here:

[www.amazon.co.uk]

1) C'mon, at least embroider the "50" too (using petite stiches)

2) I got a feeling this is not the last change we'll see for that cover before
its published.
