I'll Be Watching You: Inside The Police, 1980 - 1983 (hardcover)
Hey Police Fans! Has anyone checked out this upcoming book by Andy? Amazon.ca has it listed at $466 (Canadian), which could be a vast over-estimate. Any comments, thoughts or insights?? Anne

We've talked about it a couple of times here in the past few months - last time to point out the peek at the book presented on the publisher's website - which the Canadian Amazon site shows too... when it originally was listed it listed at about half the price and we all thought THAT was high but it seems like they are jumping on the Police bandwagon and have raised the price ... http://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/books/artists_editions/work/facts/...
If I remember correctly, the original price was not a limited edition/signed copy, just a first run of a regular copy. I could be wrong. But $200 for a high quality art book by a known photographer sounds about right. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paula Mickevich" <casimira@csail.mit.edu> To: "Anne Stephens" <justanne@ns.sympatico.ca>; <police@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2007 1:34 PM Subject: Re: [Police] I'll Be Watching You: Inside The Police,1980 - 1983 (hardcover)
