THE OTHERS OF INVENTION - - - MARCH 11 UPDATE

Volume 1 and 2 of The Others Of Invention book series got released a couple of weeks ago.

“The Others Of Invention” lists bands and artists that have recorded and released compositions that were written by Frank Zappa. It also includes recordings that Frank Zappa contributed to, a handful of tributes, and even a couple of albums that include references to Frank Zappa.

Want to know who recorded and released 'The Black Page'? Or 'Twenty Small Cigars'?
You can find it The Others Of Invention.

Volume 1 = FZ discography + Others Of Invention 1966 -> 1999  (444 pages)

Volume 2 = Others Of Invention 2000 -> 2012  (422 pages)

Volume 3 = Others Of Invention 2013 -> 2020 + Zappanale productions + composition and artist index for the 3 volumes.
(This one should be out in about a month, maybe two.)

The black and white paperbacks are available through Amazon.com, Amazon France, Germany, Spain and Japan.. Print-on-Demand.

The luxurious full colour hardcover versions are available through a Dutch on-line book shop. Also Print-on-Demand.

All carry the amazing artwork by Maximiliano Lopez Barrios.

If you want to order a paperback copy, pick an Amazon location near you to avoid high shipping costs.
A paperback copy = 30 US $ (or 26 €), plus shipping.

A hardcover copy is more expensive (72 € plus shipping (and these are heavy books as each volume counts over 400 pages)).

I was informed that almost 25 copies of each Volume (counting both paperback and hardcover) have been ordered and have arrived or are on their way to Zappa enthusiasts all over the world, including Japan. That makes me happy. Hope you enjoy it.
