O.k, but the printing machines are from Germany. The book is great and thankfully the glorious and mysticSixties pictures get the most space
Absoluty the worlds greatest rock n roll band
GRACIAS A MI SOBRINO JOAN QUE SE ENCUENTRA EN LONDRES DESDE PERU UN FUERTE ABRAZO EXCELENTE REGALO DE CUMPLEAÑOS .
BUENISIMO LO GUARDO
I CAN’T WAIT. I thought this was coming out in July on their 50th anniversary but then I realized it’s not out in America till October. WHY?!! Still can’t wait though.
Bought my "first" Stones book in 1974, then another in 1979 & in ’81. Finished up with Bill Wyman’s "Rolling With The Stones". No need for another. I get the story.

You see, I was born on January 31, 1963…
¡Lo quiero ya!
I’m a big Stones fan, but I can not help thinking that is very ironic that a band send to print his book anniversary authorized in China, the land where it produces 80{10faa3092bae83cdf963b1ab1025701434ba1e012413cb9c0c72be0a479389c3} of counterfeit and from more bad quality imitation products of the world. Anyone who has been scammed with a box set of the Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd etc, will know that I am referring.
I just ordered the book over the phone. When I asked how long the order was going to take, the person on the other end answered "15 minute". Maybe if I am lucky they will throw in a few extra packets of spicy mustard….I love that stuff! Great for the sinuses!
it’s like they say: God created earth and water, the rest was made in China
The book is great! It’s in my showcase 🙂
Scottkeef, if the edition were printed in the UK, the unit costs would be so high that the retail price would be so eye-watering that very few people would buy the book. That’s just the way it is, and publishers want to sell books, so they have to go to Asia these days for printing. 🙁
I love The Stones but if these guys really wanted to give something back to the fans that made them, they would have had these printed in the UK and the USA . It sure woulda helped with a few jobs. Maybe money is the main objective tho. (and dont tell me for what these sell for that it couldnt have been done elsewhere…
I wonder what they are gonna do. Celebrate their 50 th anniversary on stage would be the best thing ever.
Actually i just want to drink a cup of thee with the guys.
yeah, i know, but kinda everything is build in china…
I have this book, it’s a wonderful pictorial archive of their 50 years as the greatest rock n roll band in the world.
I love this book but I have to say, I hate Chinese things 😐
