Katy, thanks for the info. Link still didn't work for me but I found it on Amazon. Have to say, most of it looks familiar but, might be some new, interesting info in there!! Even though I ended up with a couple of book disappointments, I agree with having the pics all in one place. I also still have a tendency to prefer paper books that I can flip through instead of being at my computer all the time!!
I also believe you are correct, Katy, that Thor didn't come to QZ with a book in mind. I believe it came much later after he saw the interest and love people have for Freddie. I'm glad he stuck with it, instead of becoming discouraged by the haters, so we can all look forward to the book with some new info and stories from people who loved him.
Question though Katy - you say Thor and Lee have months of work ahead of them......the book is done now and the hold up is with the printing due to everything going on yes? Just clarifying as I have NO idea what it takes to write a book, publish, etc, etc.

Amidds, I don't know all that is involved in publishing a book either so I was just speculating. In his last GFM update Thor said they were waiting for the sample copies before production could be amped up but Covid was slowing things down. Once production is amped I'm not sure what the next step is. I do know they have to autograph and ship out all of the pre-ordered copies. I think that will be a daunting project in itself and will take time Then they will have to decide about promoting the book, book signings, etc. I'm not sure they knew all that was involved, but I'm so happy they stuck with it.
Also, glad you finally got to see the attachment even though you had to do some searching. I noticed the "sombrero" photo's of Freddie and Roger will be included. I've always loved those photos because they guys seem so playful. I figure many of the actual concert photos will be pretty standard, but it will be the behind-the-scenes pictures I'll enjoy. I pre-ordered, so it's a done deal.

Amidds, Have you ordered a book from Thor and Lee yet they super cheap I know they will have a lot of photos no one has seen before they kept their collection private throughout the years. It will be a plus people will want to see all those young hotties lol.I think it would be interesting if it shows any of the old buildings and places they used to go . I love history.
It’s that time pride month and my bday month time to celebrate. My state celebrates but Oklahoma isn’t like these larger states they still try to down play. So I try to enjoy others celebrations and pictures I really love the floats and costumes.Two guys last year were dressed like bumble bees. I asked one of them if I could touch his stinger which was on his ass and he let me he had a nice firm ass lol.
Oh another guy was dressed as Bruce kardashian
Katydid, do you know if you can still preorder Thor and Lee’s book? I would love an autographed copy. I think when I was going through their thread there was a lot going on with the go fund me stuff and they kept talking about refunding and stuff so I didn’t order then. They left shortly after I read those threads.
So my next book plunge is to read Cynthia Lennon’s book. I have long been a Beatles fan, back in college I read quite a few books on them. Cynthia’s book came out a lot later, and I saw it was cheap with a Kindle discount I had so I grabbed it. I am by no means a John Lennon fan, I actually think he was kind of a strange guy and mostly not nice to others. But he did write some great songs! I wanted to go see Paul McCartney on tour last year, decided against it because the only seats left were nosebleed and pretty expensive at that. Now I am kicking myself because who knows when he will ever come around again. Gggrrrrr. : )

You can still order I think They are still taking donations.
MHZ, You can always message Thor or JT she might could reach out for you or knows how you can touch base with them.Love is peace and is the answer. Love is all you need.
MHZ, here's the link to Thor's GFM page. Since it is still open I'm assuming you can still get an autographed book. I did go ahead and email him just to make sure, but I think it would be fine. I'll let you know if I hear different.

I wasn't much of a John Lennon fan while he was alive, Paul was always my guy. In time though I've come to really appreciate John and his creativity. I remember being devastated when he died because it almost seemed impossible that someone would have done that.

MHZ, if I remember correctly, as long as you donate $50, Thor and Lee will send you an autographed copy. After I donated, Thor had asked everyone to DM him our shipping address thru GoFundMe so you should do that as well. You could also just DM him to see if they are still actively taking orders before you donate....
Yah, another book order for the guys awesome!!!!!!!!!
MHZ, I do love the Beatles very much they are one of my favorite bands. John was my favorite beatle as long as he wasn’t listening to his wife. That lady told him what pants to wear. For a lady of her times she was pretty bold I think.I kinda wonder how many trips those two went on and I’m not talking about a holiday.She seemed out there somewhere sometimes Does anyone know?I wasn’t a child of the sixties so please educate me.
Okay I didn’t even know John was married before yokoI have a lot to learn I just know the music side.Supposidly his first wife died of cancer not to long ago.
Happy Friday all! My family was just here for a small celebration and it was so great to see them. It's been so long and just to be around the kids made my spirits soar. LOL, I did see my DIL and the kids earlier this week to do some garden shopping, but twice in one week feels like heaven. Anyway, my son finally hung the Freddie canvases they gave me for Christmas (!!) and I said I'd share a picture once it was done, so, voila. I love that I can just glance to my right as I sit here and there he is. It's been a great day!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
Quick edit: I already had the two of the canvas prints. My son just hung the three they gave me.
