Announcing the first NEW book on Blondie in twenty years...
Projected publicaton date: Fall 2001. The book will be available for purchase with direct links to the book on this page through online bookstores like amazon.com, borders.com, and seekbooks.com. Seekbooks.com is a great site because it compares its book prices to those of amazon.com and bn.com and enables you to link directly to those sites. Direct links for purchasing the book will be added here prior to publication.
If you prefer a "brick and mortar" bookstore, the book also should be available from Barnes & Noble, Borders, and just about any other bookstore. If the book is not in stock, then you can "special order" it from your favorite bookstore since it will be listed in Books In Print. If enough people request the book, then maybe bookstores that don't stock it will do so due to the demand! And spread the word about this book to everyone you know who may have an interest in Blondie. Keep checking back for more details and updates!
This web site serves as a companion to a forthcoming book entitled Blondie
in Pictures and Prose, Then and Now which is an edited collection
of photographs and contemporary writings on the band Blondie. The main impetus
for these articles has been the Blondie reunion, which followed a long absence
by the band from the music scene. The relative newness of these writings has
the two-fold advantage of providing a perspective by placing the band in a historical
music context vis-a-vis its reunion and focussing on the present and future
without overly dwelling on the past because this reunion is not about nostalgia,
but what exciting and groundbreaking territory Blondie has yet to explore. The
1999 album No Exit provided a new beginning for Blondie and we all await
with anticipation as to what the band holds in store for us in the future. Please
see also another site, Blondie: Legacy, Influence,
Legend, which complements this site and the book
with additional content.
