As we previously informed, “Best of Roxette” will be published by Swedish publishing company Gehrmans Musikförlag. The premiere was postponed two times – first time from March 22nd till June 1st and now the official release date is September 1st 2010 according to Adlibris.se and Cdon.se.
Suprisingly, on both sites mentioned above two more Gessle/Roxette music books are in stock – both released on May 31st by Books, LLC. The books are said to be in English. There is no cover pictures or any informations except the very long title where few songs’ titles are included (e.g. It must have been love, Listen to your heart, The look, Joyride, How do you do, The centre of the heart).
Amazon.co.uk gives more details – they claim that Gessle-book has 324 pages (!) and its dimensions are 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.8 cm while Roxette’s book has 126 pages and it dimensions are 22.9 x 15.2 x 0.7 cm.
Is it meant to be the international version of Swedish “Best of Roxette”?
Does anyone know more about these publication?
Or better: is there someone out there who purchased them?
Looks like a placeholder, also “Books LLC”: Most of the releases in the future, no detailed info or reviews.
If I find some money, I’m going to order these two just to check if they are avaialble. But I still hope there will be someone faster who’ll tell us what’s that.
amazon.de has descriptions of both books. The descriptions mainly content song and album titles and not what kind of books they are.

Is it some kind of “The look for Roxette” with discography sections with lyrics?
