Has anyone got any inside info on this. I've just ordered mine from Amazon (19 quid) but there isnt a great deal about it. Is it all pictures? Or is their some description? Thing is, i can't read. Another question, does it go as far as Minimal, or even Numb?

I think I read somewhere that it goes up to 2004.

Shame about the Release artwork, or else it would be a nice Farrow showcase as well

...just in general.

It will be a shame if it does only go up to 2004. This book has been planned for a long time and with Fundamental being arguably their biggest album for 13 years, it should be in there.

So this book is dated the day you buy it?
I find it strange if the book would only go up to 2004! That's just plain stupid, isn't it?

Not really. The Stones have just released a couple of books showing photographs of them from the Sixties. Just because there's no pictures of Jagger from a fortnight ago, it doesn't make them any less desirable.

Well, this is a high end coffetable book.The text and layout of the book was probably finished last year. You can't just knock out a book like this over the weekend (like with Literally).

I do think Darkmoon and yourself both make valid points here. It would be nice to have Fundamental in it though and i cannot see why it wont be. The artwork must have been done several months before release.

Don't ya think it's a possibility that they may do a revised version in a few years time and update it.
Kylie did the same with her book La La La

It makes sense for the book to only go upto PopArt. Fundamental is still an ongoing project - there could still be more single sleeves and stage designs for the world tour.

I agree 100%. It is kind of the same as the PopArt DVD isnt it not having the videos to both Miracles and Flamboyant!
