ZAPPANALE #27 - PART 3 - TWO NEW ZAPPA BOOKS

Last year, I bought two books at the Zappanale festival:

joe's literage act 1ne - articles and interviews 1962 - 1979
and
joe's literage act 2wo - articles and interviews 1980 - 1993

The books collected Zappa interviews and articles as text files. Typed out interviews and articles. Just the text, no pictures. All in English.
Both books were hardcover books, the first one being 550 pages and the second one even 600.

 

A couple of months ago, I received a message about two new books. Similar in their content, but this time presenting high quality xeroxes of the actual articles.
Compiled by a German Zappa freak.
The covers might not look as impressive as the ones of the previous books, but the content sure does.

Volume One :

bizzare pages
(2016, book, ger, private release)

Collection of interviews and articles, all in English.
Articles from 1965 - 1979.
Hardcover book.
730 pages.
Released at Zappanale 2016.

And Volume Two :

bizzare pages 2
(2016, book, ger, private release)

Collection of interviews and articles, all in English.
Articles from 1980 - 1993.
Hardcover book.
740 pages.
Released at Zappanale 2016.

I don't know how many copies of these books got published, but as far as I understood, they had to be pre-ordered and no extra copies were made.

  1. I bought a copy of these out of the shelf on Wednesday. So a reservation was not necessary for me. I was been told there, that 20 copies has been made.
    One other thing: It's not the same content as in the last years books. I haven't had the time for a close look but there is lots of other stuff like advertises, broschures or even the Thingfish photostory from Hustler.
