There's very interesting advertisment in Record Collector about limited edition (2500 copies) of book "Killer Queen". According to that, it is about early years of the band with comments by Brian May, Mary Austin and Mick Rock. It features by rare fotos and it is signed! On genesis-publications.com it costs 255£.Which is not a few. But I haven't found anything about it neither on queenonline.com nor brianmay.com. Does anybody know something more about this? Do you think it's worth buying?

It is a fantastic book that came out in 2002 and is now being promoted again.
It is very lavish and very heavy and very well made with the overall production of it as brilliant. It also comes in an outer slip case.
Initial copies were signed by Mick, BM and RT and now just signed by BM and Mick.
It is well worth getting but if you can't afford the rather high price you can opt for the £20 hardback book edition called 'Classic Queen' by Omnibus Press.
It is still a great book but has less photos obviously.
If you like the early days then this is a superb document of Queen in their formative years.

I must say, it is worth buying very luxury ...but if you are only interested in the pictures, there's a "normal" edition called Classic Queen. You can find more information on [url=http://www.mickrock.com]www.mickrock.com[/url]
Lucky for me I had a spare £300 Christmas 2004 so I bouhgt a signed copy.
It's a great book BUT I was very disappointed by the different types of paper that the pages were made up from.
It's a mixture between "home-made" paper, tracing paper, gloss paper, plastic sheeting and silvered paper. Rather annoyingly, some of the best (rare) photos are printed on the weird papers which degrades the quality of the image somewhat, especially on the silver papers.
The £20 version is a good taster, but maybe only contains a quarter of the pictures that are in the big one.
Buy the big one by all means BUT you do really need to have nothing better to spend £250 on!

Thank you folks! You gave me even more enthusiasm about this book. Now I know what to do! That would be great! That would be the biggest sum that I spent on Queen by one shopping...
Got my BM/RT/Mick Rock signed copy in april 2004 for the hefty price of 271 euros I believe. I'd recommend it to everyone who has the money and can spend it on a book :)
Any idea where can I buy it ?

Yikes. Way out of my budget.
And just think...all those goats gave their lives for Queen. Do you think Brian knows? [img=/images/smiley/msn/wink_smile.gif][/img]

I don't know how about you, but I haven't started to save on my funeral yet. So I'm going to have some fun. My life doesn't belong to Queen, it's just Queen is present in my life. I answer by question: do you really think it can be possible for Brian to know about everybody who buys something connected with him?
