There was a reality tv show in Finland about Mr. and Mrs. Andy McCoy, and she had a lot of exposure there. That woman has no brains.

[Rohlm]

I haven't gotten anything yet. I was thinking about emailing them just to check in. Did you order it as well Jarmo?

[jarmo]

No, I didn't. But I know somebody who did....


Edit:

Got this in my e-mail today:

"Dust N' Bones: The Untold Story of Izzy Stradlin" is currently at press, and will be shipping pre-orders within the next 10 days. The cover looks AMAZING, and the book, topping out at roughly 200 pages, promises to be a great read for any die-hard Izzy or Guns N' Roses fan. Currently, the book is available for order at amazon.com, here's the link.

Whoever gets it should post a review, I want to know if it's worth getting.

[Pandora]

I ordered it, I'll make a review as soon as I'm finished reading it. Unless someone else is quicker than me 

[GypsySoul]

FYI:

Two weeks ago, I sent an e-mail to hardrockbooks@hotmail.com questioning them on when I could expect the books I pre-ordered in the beginning of December.? I never got a reply.? (I placed my pre-order at this e-mail address).

Today, February 11th, I tried to call them to ask when I could expect the books and got the "phone number has been temporarily disconnected" recording.

THE BOOK IS STILL LISTED ON AMAZON.com ... but I'm a little worried that I've been scammed.

[Pandora]

Yeah, I was fearing that too since it's not a big publishing house. That's why I didn't preorder it and waited for it to show up on Amazon.
Has your payment been cashed in?

[GypsySoul]

Has your payment been cashed in?

I don't know.? I sent it as a money-order.?

[jimmythegent]

Has anyone got a copy yet? I am dead keen to read this, he is an extremly intriguing figure to me

[Pandora]

Shipping of my book is delayed by Amazon. Doesn't look too good 

[dancewmrbrownstone]

Last thing I heard, complete release of the book has been delayed.

Update on shipping for Izzy Stradlin Book from PUBLISHER

To all who have ordered this book, we first thank you for your orders.

The latest updates are as follows:

1.) We had to have the cover redesigned at the last minute due to a copyright issue over the photo we had first been given permission to use. We had to secure a new one, and this held us up a few days.

2.) Because the book was already at press when we were sandbagged with this at the last minute, we had to stop the order in the middle of pressing a couple weeks ago (early Feb), pay for the disposal of about 200 covers, and then resubmit the whole book for re-press with the new cover. This ate up another week because they had to reformat everything, etc.

3.) The book is currently at press with the new cover, which looks AMAZING, and is a photo I am not sure has been seen of Izzy before. We are getting daily updates on progress- expect our first shipment of books in at the end of next week- and will begin shipping on Monday March 7.

4.) US orders will recieve the book quicker than international orders for obvious reasons, but we will ship all pre-orders which have already been placed on that same date.

We thank all of you who have ordered the book already, and encourage those of you who still wish to order, or who have emailed questions concerning existing orders to refer to the aforementioned. You can also email us at hardrockbooks@hotmail.com with questions. Thank you, Staff, BMP


We apologize profusely

Thanks for posting that KZiggy but I have my doubts what B.M.P says there is true.?

I placed my pre-order in early December expecting to receive the book in the middle of January like the ad said ... then, according to the e-mail that Jarmo received on January 30th(posted above), the shipping date would be the 10th of February ... now it's March 7...

To date, they never answered the e-mail I sent them questioning the delay in shipping and their phone has been disconnected ...

My suggestion to those who want to order this book is to wait until somebody actually receives a copy.? ?

[a fan]

Izzy didn't give his permission for this book.  So why is everyone buying it?  You wouldn't like it if all your experiences and relationships (good and bad) were exploited to the world.  Have some morale and don't buy it.

[jarmo]

Do you own any unofficial biographies or even merchandise?

I know why people are buying it. They want to read about Izzy. Izzy's probably never gonna write a book himself so this will have to do for the people who are interested in his career.


Izzy never did any kind of announcement that he was against it.  At least I don't remember any. Axl, Duff and Slash tried stopping the Greatest Hits by going to court. A different thing, but the message is kinda clear.
