From the write up it sounds like it's mainly pics and little information. I bet there are more rarer pics on this forum.

They don't even give you a sneak preview inside the book. And looking at their other offers, there is no feedback from purchasers. They have Muse t-shirts unomusette.

My guess is that the photos are almost all ones that we have seen many times, with general information we already know and/or uninteresting trivia that we don't really care much about...
I'm not sure that there's a lot of good new information out there. Despite my enthusiasm, I can't say that I swim in the deep waters of ELO history, but I feel like I know most of the important stuff already...Just sayin'...

I think the next important book on ELO will be Bev's memoirs, though I am sure that some of the most controversial and juicy facts may not be put to writing. For instance, I want to know Bev's recollection of the "Meal." I really don't need to read more text that Jeff was a snappy dresser by the time the band got to Xanadu.

I'd be very surprised if Bev's book ever ends up happening. First it was being described as a direct continuation of his first, then he seems to have taken a 180 and started talking about it being a more generic history of rock music from the perspective of drummers before evolving into a study of the wider Brum Beat scene (which I'm sure ended up influencing his most recent album with Quill), and the last I heard is that it's back to being pulled from his old tour diaries. Without being able to say it, I get the impression he's either unwilling or unable to discuss ELO, so it's a case of finding an alternate angle any publisher would be interested in. Still, at least we got those videos where he read extracts, confirming that it's not entirely the literary equivalent of vapourware.

Showing my ignorance here, but what happened at "the meal"?
