So was this book a limited run? 'Cause I was on Amazon just now and there are 7 of them for sale; the cheapest being 80 bucks and the most expensive being 140.00.
seems a very short amount of time for that book to appreciate that much.

Yeah I saw the same a week or so ago. Iām really pissed off because I bought it when it first came out and it was a great read! But I was stoned the whole time and flew through it. I foolishly lent it to my idiot friend who is a complete waste and he of course left it behind when his roommate kicked him out. So I went to buy a new one and saw the insane prices.
Chris, help us out! You must have some lying around!
Yeah, I was broke at the time it came out and was waiting for some used copies to float around several months later at a cheaper priceā¦hmmā¦that didnāt quite work outā¦
Why not sell it as an online ebook Chris? Little overhead costs for you, cheap for us, and Iām sure you would still make some money.
this makes me stoked Iām a ābuy the first runā type of guy! (Unless itās Eletronic hardware!)
actually I was looking for another Wax Trax! copy of YGDSOAB because I just noticed the copy I have has somebodies stupid ass initials on the disc.
anyway my condolences to those that missed the boat on Connellyās book. I saw one for 30 bucks on Ebay but I gave Rizuan the heads up on it cause he was the last to ask. I didnāt know anyone on the board was still looking. Iāll keep any eye out!

And it works just fine? Are you serious?
Are the initials in Sharpie? If so, you can try to dab and blot it really quickly with acetone and/or ethyl alcohol.

Yeah it works just fine. Does āM/NMā mean anything to you? I like to have my shit in good condition; cosmetic or otherwise.

I know about that trick but I donāt know if that will work because they look faded as if somebody already tried to remove them.

The M/NM is likely Mint/Near Mint.
Bingo!
Though I canāt imagine why any collector word actually write that on the physical product.
cause whoever sold the disc probably wasnāt a collector. or had a tiff with a sibling or clepto roommates.

If youāre looking in, Chris, i will buy at least 3 copies of it!
For what itās worth (A GREAT F"ING BOOK).
That is suprising! I bought mine only a year or so ago off ebay for $16.00. It was a quick read indeed, but fun and informative. I just bought a copy of āWelcome to Mexicoā¦ Assholeā which somehow passed me by all these years and I was going to pick up the book again to gain some context.
Chris needs to pop back in here.
He could make some dough.
Yes its surprising that this went OOP as fast as it did, an excellent book and the closest thing we have so far to a history of Wax Trax in print. Perhaps with enough demand there will be a second edition.
Even though in the tour diary Chris skipped over the Atlanta 1990 Masquerade show that I attended with only a brief mention [:(] I am satisfied that Paul Barker considered it one of the most memorable shows heās played. That one is in my top 5 shows Iāve been to.
Strippers onstage, a Billy Idol look-a-like in the crowd who tried to rip En Eschās guitar off of him during KMFDMās set, Ogre and Al getting into a fight on stage and rolling around with each other in a headlock during the Land of Rape and Honey, Paul Barker and the humorous āEat Meā written in electrical tape on the back of his bassā¦ ah they donāt make em like that anymore.
Have yet to read it, and now Iām kinda pissed at myself for not having done so.

Does anyone know if itās on retail in australia? [:(]
I would like to get the book in audio format as read by Sarah Palin.
HA! Sarah Palin canāt read!

Iām interested in buying a copy now too. Iām not sure why I didnāt jump on it when it came out.
Hook us up, Chris.

If you find anywhere - let me know!
Thanks to Grympysmrf for giving me the heads-up sometime ago on evilbay, now Iām the proud owner of Chris book.
Thanks a lot bro appreciate it. [:)]

Rizuan, bring back the BBW thread - youāre Prongs best hope at the moment!

Word!
I had remembered you were looking for it. had no idea it was a high dollar collector item. Glad you got itā¦ somewhat on the cheap too!
Now that I know quite a few here are looking for it Iāll post a link if I find a cheaper version on ebayā¦
too bad Chris isnāt posting here anymore Iām sure the peeps here would much rather send some cash toward Chris if he has some Xtra copies hanging around rather than hassle with ebay.
