    Pretty happy the books will be edited in Spanish! maybe by publisher Planeta, from what I saw. It will probably take a little bit longer..

    Just print the lyrics of all songs he's written with random pictures and I'll buy it :laugh:

    Bought it instantly.

    The book is now "temporarily out of stock" on Amazon (US).

    You may have lucked out on an erroneously low price. The Canadian Amazon site lists it for $131 Cdn (approximately $100 US).

    P.S. Did you buy the Kindle version rather than the actual book?

    No, it was the actual hardcover book.
    I've checked my receipt.

    He's a man so he will have to man-splain it.

    I hope "The Man" is not one of the songs featured in the books.

    But what is the difference, apart from the slipcase? Shouldn't matter for the kindle, so why the huge price difference? Puzzled....

    You forgot 'and John said it couldn't get much worse'. lol. I'm optimistic. This project has been a few years in the making so that tells me he's put some effort in. Plus it's two huge volumes. Also I suspect this is really it: this is as close to proper autobiography-as-told-by-Macca as we're going to get. Yes, we'll get the yawn fest (which, we must remember, will be absolute revelations to casual but enthusiastic fans who'll surely get this as Xmas present) but I genuinely believe we'll get some new insight too.

    Just kind of fascinated by the price drop.
    I suppose they knew they would sell the book for $60,
    but set the initial pricing at $100 - rich, but not obscene.
    Then quietly lower the price and now everyone feels they're getting a bargain so they
    quickly pull the plug and order away. While everyone loves a bargain, they don't
    love it as much as they hate feeling that they missed out on one.

    I wasn't going to buy this until October. But pulled the plug yesterday, because
    it would kill me to see the price go back up before I made my move.

    How many different colors will it come in ? Will I have to buy all of them to get all the chapters ?

    Who knows? I've already seen other ebooks varying in price from different publishers despite being the same book. And who knows which price will be final ...

    Since it’s 2021, I think the book slipcase should come in 2021 color variations each with a different lyric, photo, or art
