   Wonder if any day this website gets its version on a book format, containing discographies and selected reviews, for example. It would be great!!

	Even without pictures and reviews it would be a big book, I think.

	there was a point I wished also to have a solid paper copy of these darabase such as Gnosis and GEPR , before I joined the PA, but now that I am a collab, I realize this is almost impossible to have I remember asking the question to Mc Latchey and then Mike Taylor both of Gibraltar EPR, which daid they hadprobably thought of doing this, but itnever came to be, simply because they keep on adding up groups and reviews still come in. There are also the cost of editing the book to have in mind and finding someone who will pay a rather expensive price (due to the sheer size of the book) instead of looking it up for next to nothing of a price What you could do, though is print it yourself, by editing the adds to save up on paper Good luck though!!!

	The first edition of the Freeman brothers' Crack In The Cosmic Egg sold out, and their solution to keeping up to date (as far as possible) with a second edition on Krautrock, is a CDR version with access to updates via the web. But it has allowed them to expand the original version significantly, the traditional format not providing the flexibility. The problems with print on paper in the form of a book, have been largely expressed above and earlier. The biggest problem with factual book, is you can't keep everyone happy. For instance, there are books of IPOD lists, e.g. 10 recommendations of tunes of each music genre, from a list of apparent musical pundits - one has a list of 10 jazz rock tracks concocted by a pundit, but so can this 'pundit' come up with 10 other of equal or better worth. There is an excellent and very extensive jazz rock fusion discography (by Jon Newey) at the rear of Stuart Nicholson's Jazz Rock A History, but it lacks many obvious European bands and of course with the book written 10 years ago, it misses the last 10 years worth of music.

	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Valid point you make but Ultima Thule's site about Cosmisc Egg is a definite time era and scope >> very little can be added>> this makes it one of those reference books which can be But the letter O is still empty (at least onthe site)>> Ougenweide and Out Of Focus are desperately empty>> I am not sure this book is better than Asbjornssen's Cosmic dreams At play >> which he is re-writing as we speak I remember that Joynson's books came with a separate addendum which was not cheap either And my copy of Tapestry of delights (third edition) had the addendum in the backpages because he was not bothered to re-write his infos into the main text
