Hello fellow list-ers,
I believe the Andy Summers book signing event has been mentioned here before. I received the following official release from Andy's online team & Amoeba Records just today with more information. Note that if you're not in LA and still want a signed copy, you can buy the book through Amoeba at the link in the bottom of the release. I'm jealous of anyone who can attend - and a day before my birthday at that! :-)

**********
Andy Summers is having a book signing Tuesday, January 8th at 6 pm in Hollywood at Amoeba Records
In the early 1980s, The Police went on tour accompanied by a photographer who documented the band behind the scenes in a series of candid and striking black and white photos. This talented photographer also happened to be the band's guitarist, Andy Summers.
This book follows The Police around the globe between 1980 and 1983. From
the American West to Australia to Japan, Summers recorded not only the band members rehearsing and partying the proverbial sex, drugs, and rock and roll he also photographed fans, landscapes, still lifes, and passersby in a reportage style reminiscent of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Robert Frank. Containing over 600 photos and filled with diary-style entries, I'll Be Watching You is a sumptuous volume beating with musical energy, nostalgia, and atmospheric beauty. A must for photo buffs and Police fans alike.
