I would like to ask admin just one question: does the English version has the same content as the German version (text, photos etc.)?

one would expect that, but better to check, of course...

after some thinking I decided to opt for the German Version. It is Edgars mother tongue, after all, so it should make for a more immediate/unfiltered reading experience. (I expect that some parts might take a while to comprehend in any language, though... ;)

Ordered 8)

Wikipedia:
The word 'autobiography' was first used deprecatingly by William Taylor in 1797 in the English periodical the Monthly Review, when he suggested the word as a hybrid but condemned it as 'pedantic'; but its next recorded use was in its present sense by Robert Southey in 1809. The form of autobiography however goes back to antiquity. Biographers generally rely on a wide variety of documents and viewpoints; an autobiography, however, may be based entirely on the writer's memory. Closely associated with autobiography (and sometimes difficult to precisely distinguish from it) is the form of memoir.

I will order it, but not until the book is actually released. I am NOT so sure the book will be out when it's supposed to.

When it's out is not that important in my opinion. And if you order now it will be cheaper. Special pre-order price. And then it's the bonus disc. :-)

Ordered, too. I sure hope it's worth it and not just a lot of Edgar's rants and "philosophies", as many people have said before, because, to be honest, it's so damn expensive.
