Yaaaaaaay!!!!!

A Cure worshipper (like myself)'s dream book!! Tons of fabulous pictures, listings of every concert (up until Wish, that is) and lots of fun little facts for the Cure expert to absorb. Buy this book, fellow Cureheads, you won't regret it!! I promise! :)

excellent reading, rare and colorful photos, a must have.

a very detailed documentary of a band that i'm sure are not easy to follow around. rare and colorful photos provide a very real glimpse in the lives of eccentric band mates in their daily touring schedule that covers several years. very worthwhile and well done book.

Robert J Smith -the best person in the world.

This book has a lot of glossy pictures of Smith and his band which is very enjoyable. It also has a lot of interesting articles and interviews in it which reveal Smith as an articulate, enigmatic man who battles cynicism and apathy. The book overall reveals Smith to be full of fascinating contradictions -he appears effeminate most of the time but has a lot of chest hair, he has a ruthless asthetic sense but is at times quite down-to-earth and the humanitarian. I simply think that Smith is the most beautiful and fascinating man on earth. Who else in the rock world or any world for that matter has ever had intercourse with and married only one person so far? Robert J Smith is a very rare rare person indeed! This book is informative and insightful and you will find out these things and more about rs.

One picture is worth a million words...

I was fortunate to receive this book in a limited edition collection set (which also contained an interview CD, T-shirt, and postcards of Robert and the band.) While somewhat similar and parallel to Ten Imaginary Years (another selection I reccommend, for the cover, if nothing else), the book lists tour dates and is very captivating. :)

Must have for Cure Fans

This book contains lots of great pictures and text about everyone's favorite band, The Cure. Lots of pictures you won't see anywhere else. Check out Ten Imaginary Years, and The Cure On Record als
