Book Depository is showing a 1/9/12 release for the UK - though Amazon UK seems to be saying its out now

I pre-ordered one from Amazon UK a couple months ago, since they said it was out in June (3 months before the US date). I haven't heard a peep from them if the date has changed.

I got it yesterday. Haven't had a chance to read any of it yet...

'....Very early on, little Vince realised that the survival of the Furnier family name had been nailed to his shoulders....yada yada yada.......He would fulfill his familial duty too. Although he would ultimately change his name by deed poll to Alice Cooper, he waited until after the birth of his son, Damien Furnier'.


WTF??

I wasn't aware Dick Wagner contributed to the book.

WTF??

what appalling research the author could have looked on a genealogy website to get that right.

You can trace the Furnier lineage back to David who died in 1771 and had a son Henry born in 1765 to his wife Jeanne

Got mine today. Also noticed the had it for sale at waterstones.

Got mine today.

Theres a photo of Alice in a straight jacket with a caption underneath which says "Alice in concert not long after he gave up alcohol December 2001"...

Weird how it says 2001...

>"Alice in concert not long after he gave up alcohol December 2001"...

What appalling research.

Doesn't seem like it is worth buying if they cannot get basic facts right.

Non existant I'd call it

Yep, Thinking I'm going to skip if such basic info is missing. mush of which is in almost all Alice bios. so to get such things wrong seems odd

Not having read the book, would think that unless Alice himself has written it, be best to look on this site rather than waste money.

What about pictures? Anything new or original in that department that may make up for lack of research?

Dang. Those are two big, and easily researched with lots of available info, facts to mess up.

Then again, little did I know until I read a review that at the show on Sunday I had seen a great BASS solo by......Glen Buxton! *headdesk*

I bet that was worth the price of admission alone,Notso! nice of glen to give chuck a night off...SMH.
