Gyllene Tider book in Top5!

GT_omslag_131028_rs

The book has just been published and according to Bokus best sellers charts, ”Alla tiders Gyllene Tider” is already the Top 5th best selling book in “culture” category looking at the past week. Taking into consideration that most of us from abroad ordered it at Ginza or Bengans, the book could be No. 1 at Bokus (if we would have ordered our copies there). 😉

Cool result! Congrats!

30 pages from the Gyllene Tider book

The Swedish website where earlier we could check some pages from Sven Lindström’s ”Roxette – Den osannolika resan tur och retur” now shared the first 30 pages (including the cover) of ”Alla tiders Gyllene Tider” written by Jan-Owe Wikström and photographed by Anders Roos.

The table of contents is extremely promising and the whole design looks awesome. I must admit I haven’t read these 30 pages (I’m waiting for my copy to hold it in my hands and read the whole book), just flicked through the pics now and they are woaaah! Not that we didn’t know it until now. So, if you haven’t decided on buying the book yet, it’s high time! Just look at this snippet and you’ll be absolutely convinced. 😉 Click HERE to check those 30 pages, but only if you don’t want to ”ruin” your ”wow!” moment when first seeing the book in its physical existence.

Please Mr. Postman, look and see (oh yeah) if there’s a BOOK in your bag for me! Hurry up!

Awesome Gyllene Tider signing session photos

You may remember Expressen’s article about a big chaos when Gyllene Tider had their signing session in Halmstad. Well, journalists like colouring their headlines and of course, there was no chaos at all, but what is very true in the article is that Basia Konarzewska, a great Polish Roxer, was flying to Sweden with a friend of hers to be present on the signing sessions in Halmstad and Kungsbacka. Basia had a fantastic weekend with the guys and she took some awesome photos of the two sessions she was attending. Judge them yourself by clicking here. Happy faces all around! 😉
