hi all there:
interesting thing I found in this link: http://www.adlibris.se/product.aspx?isbn=9100112003
my swedish is not the best thing there is BUT I can understand that the book will include a bonus cd with 9 songs, cool! ... live songs? strange demos? what do you think about it?
maybe we can get some more info from the moderators? I really hope!

from that website you can order already? or it’s just a preorder?
gyllene_tjej said on September 11, 2007 20:57:
Wow, I’ve just dropped dead... I mean SVARTA GLAS????? Finally! Oh my holy Gessle! Yessss! :o) :o) After all these years...
But hey, does it mean there will be two separate ep:ns? I mean adlibris offering nine songs, and the remaining online shops 7 - no 4 and 9 excluded? Or what is that all about?

Jud (moderator) said on September 12, 2007 05:20:
yes, only the books sold via www.adlibris.se will come with the 9 demos. All other stores will sell a book with 7 (track 4 and 9 won’t be included).
Have fun in ebay and/or tradera ;)

great! I was waiting for the tracklist during the last days and I gotta say two things: 1- the tracklist is ... really tasty!
2- per rules ;-)
Gachy said on September 12, 2007 08:48:
...and 3- He really knows how to sell. He’s a great business man!
marcusvandeursen said on September 12, 2007 13:56:
Anyone in Sweden who’s ordering from AdLibris... willing to order 2 additional copies of the book and send them on to Ireland? Can pay via Paypal or payson.

Is there any kind person out there in Sweden that would order me the book with 9 track CD and send it to me in the UK?
I am happy to pay you before you buy the book and give you something extra for your trouble!
Jules-SouthAfrica said on September 12, 2007 15:40:

Gachy said on September 13, 2007 05:49:
I am not against the book including a CD, to persuade people to buy a bio that might be not that interesting even for some fans. But what really pisses me off is the fact they will put out 2 different versions of the CD. This string of “limited” &”special” editions we got these years (it started with The Ballad and The Pop Hits) is totally annoying.
thenicekai said on September 13, 2007 06:57:
Has anybody ever regarded that this book was written for the Swedish market only? The language of this book is Swedish, it is not about Roxette but about Per’s personal life. Most of you will not be able to read it anyway. Per is a Swedish star nowadays, less an international one. So it is simply logical that the book will only be published in Sweden, and as this is so, it only needs to be shipped inside Sweden. Adlibris is a well known internet book store there, every Svensson can order there, also the Norwegian and Finnish people, so everyone from a country where a lot of people speak Swedish (ok, ignore Denmark). Anything else was never intended. The 20 or so people abroad have the chance to find a kind person inside Sweden to help them order the book. This is by the way what this forum was also made for. Use the advantages of this community instead of permanently whining that the world is bad to you.
PS: Why do you want to have both versions of the book? What does the 7 track edition give you more than the 9 track edition? ;-)
Howdy!

Keep on thinking.
Emil__BG said on September 13, 2007 08:46:
We want 9 track version.
But even 7 track version isn’t available abroad.
Limited,deluxe,special, not so special??
What’s the point of diffrent versions????
the point of versions diffrent ?What’s ???
What’s diffrent versions the point of ????
Diffrent versions-What’s point of the ????
Gessle–only Swedish artist ??
Take a look at the front row on last 2 sommar dvd-s...
How many records sold Gessle as solo artist before Roxette??
This “20 people” bought 75 000 000 Roxette records.
Don’t calculate Roxette fans found on people who visit TDR nowadays...
Most of them just don’t like new look :-))
Why some people don’t want Gessle to be international star and belittle him to local one.
But even 20 people wanna buy it-why not??
We are living in 2007!! It’s no hard to do the things the right way ..
This cd contains Roxette demos .
Most of swedish people don’t like Roxette for some strange reasons..
This is dailyROXETTE.com . And this is the exact place to complain about such things!

but I would like to have the bonus cd so is there anybody in Sweden that would please order me the book with 9 track CD to send to me in Belgium ? I will pay of course all costs... Please contact me :-)

“Has anybody ever regarded that this book was written for the Swedish market only? The language of this book is Swedish, it is not about Roxette but about Per’s personal life.”
That’s the point: the book is not about Roxette. Of course, Roxette will be mentioned on it since it was the most important and successful time in Per’s career. That’s why I think no Cd should be included: those Roxette demos should have been on the Rox Box and not on a book about Per Gessle.
Anyway, I’m not going to buy the book for two reasons: I don’t understand Swedish and, sincerely, I’m not interested in Mr Gessle life.
bradhdyd said on September 15, 2007 03:14:
This really annoys me.
I am a Roxette fan and as a result also appreciate Per and Marie’s solo stuff too (mostly the English stuff). I really want the Rox demos included with this book and am interested in reading about Per, but there is no way in hell I am spending my money on a book in Swedish as I do not speak Swedish.
I really wish that whoever is responsible for these projects thinks of the international fans as well. We have been loyal fans over the years and look forward to new material all the time. If the book was in English I would definitely buy it.
Yes I understand it is about Per Gessle and his life, but Roxette is a huge part of his life and was always intended as an international project. As a result there are thousands of fans all over the world who miss out when things like this are produced only for the Swedish market.
I agree that these songs should have been included in the RoxBox and not only this book. As some form of consolation, perhaps the CD should be available separately to the international fans out there, or on itunes or something like that - that would be fair. Then perhaps I might consider giving Per some more of my money.
Roxrider_USA said on September 17, 2007 20:59:
The 9 demo songs should be available through Bad Hair Day, since lots of us, Roxette fans, cannot buy the book cause we don’t live in Sweden or speak swedish. That would easily solve the problem right away.
Take care!

Sadly, it won’t happen. Why give something away free if you can make people pay for it? (Yes yes I know there’s no ’make’ involved. He isn’t forcing us to AdLibris, gun in hand now is he?)
Mari said on September 18, 2007 07:22:
Bad hair day was free...So why this complaining? If you want to book and cd you buy it. Simply as that.
tevensso (moderator) said on September 18, 2007 07:36:
Mari, did you ever meet a Rox fan that didn’t complain? There isn’t one! :D
whateveriam said on September 18, 2007 10:41:
The day we all stop complaining is the day we all stop breathing...and even then, I suspect some people will be whinging about Rox-stuff from beyond the grave. ;-)
Debora said on September 18, 2007 21:37:
I think I will be one of them... and I call myself a Roxette-fan! :D
rossyrox said on September 18, 2007 23:45:
@Mari “If you want to book and cd you buy it. Simply as that.”
Oh I bloody well wish I could buy a copy of the book, particularly with the 9 track CD.
Roxrider_USA said on September 19, 2007 00:13:
It’s not that simple to buy a book with the CD which will not be shipped overseas and it will only be released in Sweden.
Yeah, there’s ebay, but only for those willing to pay the final bid price, which usually is not cheap. So, my conclusion is:
It’s not simple as that.
Take care!

Emil__BG said on September 19, 2007 04:45:
It’s not simple at all!!
So stop complaining about our well-founded complaints! :-)
tevensso (moderator) said on September 19, 2007 07:38:
I don’t see a problem either. Most of you don’t even want the book, just the songs, which you will download for free 5 seconds after the first buyer uploads them. So - no problemo. For the ones who do want the book, I’m sure you can find someone in Sweden who can get it for you at a reasonable price. The limited edition is out in 22,000 copies, which is A LOT in Sweden, even the limited limited edition is out in 8,000 copies, which is about three times more than what a normal recording artist in Sweden sells anyway. So, again, not a huge problem, now back to whining again. :)
taxford said on September 19, 2007 17:28:
You can now pre-order the book (exclusive edition with 9track CD) for worldwide shipping at http://www.gessle.de
Price: 75 Euro
Registered shipping
Germany: 10 Euro
Europe: 23 Euro
Rest of the world: 36 - 43 Euro
Mail me for orders and questions.
Icegirl said on September 19, 2007 17:56:
Let me get this right 75 Euros?
That’s £52 You want to charge people £52 for a book that only costs around 255 SEK at Bokus which is around £20 = £32 profit, who are you trying to rip off….
Your postage at 23 Euros for Europe is fine which = £16 but I think you have seriously overcharged on the book… God I am not that desperate to own a CD with 9 tracks!
rossyrox said on September 19, 2007 18:03:
To the chap selling them from Germany....can’t you just tell us how you are getting the books from Sweden to Germany?
Gachy said on September 19, 2007 19:41:
I guess he has rented the Enterprise starship (due to the high demand) to carry the books from Sweden to Germany. Hence, the increase of the price ;o)
taxford said on September 20, 2007 05:53:
Gachy is almost right ;-)
Seriously: The high price is because of the high costs for shipping from Sweden to Germany and i don’t get it for the normal price, i have also to pay more.
So this might only be interesting for people from Germany, because they pay only 10 Euro for registered shipping.
>>> EDIT:
I just noticed: the price for the book is 65 Euro (not 75 Euro) (at ebay it is 75 Euro because of the fees)
bye
dubacik said on September 24, 2007 05:03:
To everybody who doesn’t need the bonus CD with 9 tracks but it’s enough for him/her to have 7 tracks - there is website www.bokus.se (also in englihs) which distribute also outside the Scandivania...
