Amir Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 In Budapest for a few weeks, spotted a translated copy of Reckless Road by chance in the music section, it was the only GNR book! Great for Marc, but sad for GNR, though, was surprised that Slash's book wasn't there at the least:Thought you guys could post photos of copies you find in other places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you pick me up 2 copies and I will paypal you the money and for what ever the shipping is? Also I think the book might be a bootleg. I don't care about the bootleg part but I would still like to have it. Its cool that the fans over there will have a chance to get a hold of it.

Rayno Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I do have a hard cover Czech version but it looks a lot different.What's different about the Czech edition comparing to the original, Marc? And is it a bootleg, too? I do have a copy of that edition and I would like to know if there's something missing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recklessroad Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nothing is wrong with the Czech one but it doesn't look anything like what they posted in the top of the thread. I still don't even know how they put that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victor.vFo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 So the book was released in some countries and you didn't even know about it? That's odd, i guess.Here is the brazilian version, it is so ugly that I imported a US copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the AFD cover exactly. The back cover is just the band, this cover is the band+Marc.Marc: Can you give some background on that image? When was it taken? Were the recordings for AFD done by then?

stella Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Mark, don't answer this here, but FYI...did you sign away First North American rights, worldwide rights or English-language rights in your contract with the publisher?If it's #1 or #3 someone's making a profit at your expense. You should be getting royalties from those. It it's #2 unfortunately you're out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The back cover is just the band, this cover is the band+Marc. Marc: Can you give some background on that image? When was it taken? Were the recordings for AFD done by then? And where was it taken. That was taken in March of 1987 right before they finished recording AFD. I was there and Robert was doing a photo shoot and I realized that I never taken a photo with the band. I was always on the other end so I sat in for the photo. No one knew that that session was going to be on the record. Robert did a bunch of them. When the record was done and I saw the art work, I knew right then that someday I would put out a cool scrap book and that I would use that photo for the back cover. The only reason I waited until 1993 to start working on it was because I didn't want to step on Roberts feet. He made a living off of his photos but after he put out his book is when I felt that time was right. If I wasn't so picky on how I did the book , it wouldn't have taking me 15 months to put together the first draft and it would have come out at the by the end of the year. Also Robert asked me to wait until after Xmas so that he could get the sales for that year. I really wish I could go back in time and had my book ready sooner.
