In June I got the Andrea Svenson, Purple Rain book, its pretty good, but I have heard and read the whole Purple Rain story like fiddy times already. Love that Mink ass kitty cat purple velveeta cover thang though.
October I went hog wild and got 3 princey books off Amazon.
They were Prince a life in comics - by some French outfit, his life divided into 20 chapters of 5 comic pages each by a different french artist, interesting if a bit basic. Also a silly "Where's Prince" book, which is sort of like wheres waldo type shit. Only has 7 scenes and you have to find Prince at different phases of his career. Its a bit muddled as the 1999 Page, shows Prince ala Rave era in Time square millenium eve rather than 1982 era Prince.
Also bought Alex Hahn's "Rise of Prince to 1988" book and I agree its a good book.
However really want to see some more music come out. Trying to track down also "Diamonds and Curls" as I heard the book is a hot mess, but I love hot messes.
