I love it and glad I purchased this book.
I have fallen in love with this book. I will admit when I first opened it I thought this wasn't worth the price. But later that evening I REALLY looked at it, and what impresses me most is the newer pictures over the last few years. We the fans have experienced an amazing time in Cure history with festivals and Teenage Cancer Trust etc. We have followed the concerts on forums (CureConnections/the Cure Community or any other) and social media. Yes we want new material (promised releases, more proper Cure concerts on their own) but what a wonderful time as a community of fans we have experienced. I'm glad these moments were captured for us to flood us with those memories. I'm ready for The Cure to release all they can, we the fans want it, they are part of us and our lives. The pictures are "artfully" taken, exactly what we'd expect from the Cure, from older pictures to the newer photos that we hold dear to our heart. I love The Cure more now than I did 30 years ago. Thank you Andy Vella for the newer photos, it shows The Cure have lasting power. This is a must have for Cure fans, especially if you have been involved and participated in the more recent festivals and shows, yes I love the newer photos the most.

I'm still a bit disappointed with it
While I got what was promised with this book, I'm still a bit disappointed with it.The pros: The pictures are captivating, and the book itself is pleasing to the eye and touch. If you are a fan of the Cure (as am I), you probably won't be sorry if you purchase this book. That being said...The cons: The foreword by RS is paltry, to say the least. Additionally, the font used for his foreword makes it hard to read. I understand that it's his handwriting (perhaps) that the publisher wanted to recreate, but it's hard on the eyes. Also, don't expect any sort of information other than the bare (and I mean BARE) minimum in terms of what each photograph depicts.

The book is a great find with a cool forward written by Robert Smith
The book is a great find with a cool forward written by Robert Smith. Some of the photos are out of focus, probably the intent to give it a rough feel, but they are difficult to make out. Love that I found it on here...this is a must for the die-hard CURE fan.

My heart shivers with joy! Adore the book
My heart shivers with joy! Adore the book. Been a huge Cure fan since the early 8o's. Old school Cure fans will love it! So glad my wife loves them just as much as I do~ because she's getting it for the holidays. Double win. Love you Robby Smitty!

Love
I love all the pics. Yes, there isn't much text because it is a photo book. Good accompaniment to ten imaginary years. I would recommend this book if you love the cure. Shipping and packaging good.

If you love The Cure you might like this book
Great colorful thick pages. I was hoping for more unseen behind the scene pics though. Perfect coffee table book for any The Cure fan household.

Not worth full price
I've been a Cure fan since the early 80's and I'm not very impressed with this book. I had high hopes for sure. There is only "1" Faith era photo from 1981, then it jumps to 1984 with a few photos from The Head on the Door demo sessions, and the rest are just pics from the music video shoots. I'd have to say, get "Ten Imaginary Years" instead. It's a much better photo history than this. I'm not even sure I should have given it 2 stars :-/ Oh well :-P

Not worth the price
Overpriced. It is mostly pictures from making of of video clips and the writing is really small, hard to read. Only buy this book if you're a hardcore fan and need this book to complete your collection, otherwise don't waste your money, you won't be missing out on much. I expected more from such an expensive book.Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c'est. La plupart des photos proviennent de l'arrière scène de vidéoclip. Complètement inintéressant et l'écriture est minuscule, difficile à lire. Ce livre est ok pour un fan qui en aurait besoin afin de compléter sa collection. Si ce n'est pas le cas, alors je déconseille de l'acheter.

Primera edición!!
Primera edición, pensé que iba a tener mejor calidad en la impresión y también un tamaño un poco más grande, las fotografías son excelentes, en general es un buen producto pero tratándose de The Cure esperaba mucho más.
