Is there a comprehensive list of all Roxette-related books that have been published in any language?

In my bookshelf I have:

* Roxette The Book (Swedish; Larz Lundgren and Jan-Owe Wikström; Wahlström & Widstrand; 1992)
* Roxette Die autorisierte Biographie (German translation of previous; Larz Lundgren and Jan-Owe Wikström; Goldmann; 1994)
* De ensamma pojkarna (Swedish; Mats Olsson; Bonnier Alba; 1995)
* Gyllene Tider (Swedish; Jan-Owe Wikström; Bonnier Alba; 1997)
* The Look For Roxette (English; Robert Thorselius; Premium Publishing; 2002)

In addition to those, the Roxette biography in iTunes Music Store lists these books:

* Join The Joyride (German?; Andreas Kraatz and Manfred Gillig; ?; 1991)
available in Amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3927801380/
* Roxette Music Star aka Roxette V.I.P. (German?; Katja Röcker; ?; 1992)
available in Amazon.de: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3552050310/
* Roxette - Debe Haber Sido Amor (Spanish?; Estheban Reynoso; Distal; 1996)
available in Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/9509495840/
* Roxette (Spanish?; Dario Vico; La Mascara; 1999)
available in Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/8479742046/

I’ve never heard of any of those books. Amazon sites don’t have much to tell. What are they?

I’ll reply to myself. Should’ve looked Google first... The Ultimate Roxette Discography has a page on books: http://roxette.cs.caltech.edu/ultimate/html/html/books.htm

I have an extra copy of Roxette - Dario Vico. I can also get the other spanish book “Debe haber sido amor” by Esteban Reinoso, but THERE IS another book missing in that list... It was released some years early in Argentina, it is called “Roxette” (with red letters) and the cover is in b/w (from the joyride sessions).
