nice
I don't have one yet but I shall ask for it.

Now then, does the autograph on the spine come with the book or was yours added on?

This looks like a gem of a book; I guess a distilled version of "Stranger Music" but one
that fits more easily into one's pocket.

On the subjects of books, has anyone heard that there will be a new biography
coming out in November?

Should be a treat.

Hi,

Many thanks for boths links. Funnily enough, the book was highlighted

Autumn:

The book certainly looks interesting and I'm sure will be a
fascinating read.

Best,

Alexis

If memory serves me correctly it was Amazon UK but then I order loads from America too so I could be mistaken. Ask them to get it into Eason's for you!

The book is presented (as all other Leonard's books) at http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/randomhouse.html

Maybe some of you missed 2012 edition 15 Poems (with LC's art work) as well? It's at http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/15poems.html
