Thanks for posting, Grape.
'Essential' is indeed the word.
If every member here at Soulful Detroit bought a copy, that would be 2000+ sold, for a start......
...yes Westgrand ...I've run out of birthdays and Christmases for now ...but am sure to find another excuse...!
...it should be out in March
First I knew anything about this. Surprised it has not been mentioned on the Motown Forum.
I went into Amazon.com and they had one listing for it but it was indicated to be:
"unavailable."
Any suggestions on obtaining one? How much does it cost?
...it's under £40 ...and out in March ...here's the UK Amazon link ...where I first saw it...

Is it only in hardback?
It's a nice book that will go next to my Motown Soul & Glamour

I want this asap
Pity it wasn't out in time for Christmas. I can wait till March though.
Amazing. Love the Supremes pic!!!
Pas grand chose.
I need my glasses to read anything these days and a magnifying glass to read cd liner notes. So I just look at the pictures!
John, you should have said "peu". [[wink)
Yes what is essential in this book is the pictures, most of them coming from the huge collection of Gilles Petard.
The text is great, too, and I know that French readers did learn a lot about Motown. French readers, but not hardcore collectors like SDF people !
Now down to £25.00 on Amazon.co.uk pre-order!
Amazon Canada shows publication March 16 2016, they don't know when it will be available and only in hardcover
the text is in French???
It's published by Thames and Hudson, who are a well known reputable U.K. company of high quality mainly arts related publications. If you look at post # 4 from Grapevine you'll see the text is in English so no dictionary required.
No Jimi, the French book is "Motown soul & Glamour", cited by Theboyfromxtown : http://www.amazon.fr/Motown-Soul-Gla...ul+and+glamour
It contains some wonderful pictures, too.
Don't know how I missed this original thread. Rectified now, though, as I just ordered mine through Amazon US. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/050..._timeline_asin
Just placed my order.
