Edgar and TD - the Force Majeure autobiography

[ant]

I have never allowed the media to tell me what to think and there is nothing wrong with having thoughts and ideas - depending though, on how crazy they are!! To me, it just seems that some of yours are a little mixed up!! But then, that is just my thoughts and, of course, I could be crazy too!!!

[TDludo]

Okay guys, we all know TD fans are "kind of crazy" anyway, so... let's move on !

Hi folks,

It's been quite a while now since we last heard anything regarding the release of the book, has anyone heard any update on the release date?

Cheers,

David

No, but plenty of other projects apparently have been given priority and are merrily underway.

More grist to the mill.

Exactly, that's what's worrying me.
I didn't bother about it before, due to Edgar's passing, but now that there are documentaries, I worry about fans previous financial commitments.

I don't mean to offend, and I don't have to justify my level of 'fanship' (if that makes any sense), but come on, we've paid well in advance for this bloody thing!

We know the book is coming in Autumn, because it's much bigger than expected (about 1000 pages or even more). We should be happy about that, don't you think ?
This kind of editorial task (to do a much bigger book) is not an easy one !

[...] it's much bigger than expected (about 1000 pages or even more). [...]

Is there any more definite evidence for that? Any announcement I have missed?

[TDludo]

Yes, there is !

Excellent!
Thank you!
That's all I wanted to know!
Things had just went very quiet, I didn't know what the current situation was.
I would never ask for a refund, even if it did all go tits-up, but I just didn't know where we currently stood.

But it has raised another question....
How do you get the newsletter???

Don't know if it is because there are now less staff or because they are very busy with other things, but I have emailed them twice in the last month and have not had any response!!

[Force Maysuere]

Ant, Same here. Since ordering the book I have moved home. I e-mailed Eastgate to give them my new address as I obviously did not want it to be delivered to my old address but now response from them!

[Laserdisc Dream]

They are working on and too busy a documentary of TD music.
