ABBA blog

In about five weeks from now, my book ABBA At 50 will be published in English, so I thought it would be timely with a little recap on what the book is, its various editions, and some other things.

THE BOOK

ABBA At 50 is a book with plenty of photos and a 50,000 word text written by me. In celebration of the 50th anniversary of ABBA's first release - the 'People Need Love' single - the book tells the story of the group from childhood to the present day.

THE VARIOUS EDITIONS

ABBA At 50 is the English-language edition of the book and will be published in the UK on 8 September. My understanding is that it will be made available in other English-speaking territories later this year.

ABBA: Thank You For The Music is the German-language edition, scheduled for publication 16 September. This version also has a Luxury Edition, published 14 October, which comes in a slipcase with a poster.

ABBA: L'album des 50 ans is the French-language edition, to be published 4 October.

Finally, the book will be published in a fourth language, probably in 2022. The publisher wants to wait with their announcement of this version, but I will of course share more details as soon as I'm allowed to.

SIGNED COPIES

I've sometimes sold signed copies of my books through my website, but I've decided not to do that with ABBA At 50. The main reason is that I really must concentrate on finishing my book ABBA On Record - Packaged Promoted Reviewed. In other words, I don't have the time. I'm sorry to disappoint those who would have wanted to buy a signed copy from me, but it just isn't possible this time.

And what about ABBA On Record? I will post an update on that within a few days or so.
