I take the point about the number of editions, but this is the situation. The original limited edition, 2 book set was especially special (!) and as with all books, there were then releases set for hardback and paperback. This is pretty standard in the publishing industry. Once I knew that the publishers wanted to do the hardback and now the paperback, I had two choices. I could either leave the text as it was, taking the story up to 2007, and let them release it anyway, or I could update the story to make it pretty current. As it's my name on the front of there, I chose the latter option. At least people then don't feel short-changed. The paperback is really aimed at people who to date haven't bought the previous versions, and is priced accordingly. I accept that there will be those who will still buy it even though they've already got a copy, but hopefully the price will make them reasonably happy, as I've battled hard to make sure that the price is as low as we can get it.
There are no plans for an ebook or Kindle edition at this time.
The book does contain new interviews and uses previously unused interviews from those I did with the band just after MP's departure.
Hope this clears a few things up!!!
