A fluke by any other name, is something unexpected...something good coming from a mundane every day event...Well my friends, it happened to me yesterday. I was browsing with Laury in a music/dv/bookstore (Archambault for those who know it) in Montreal. I wasn't planning on buying anything, and what I wanted to buy wasn't available... So we wandered into the section of the bookstore reserved for music books. So here we are, browsing the shelves and from the corner of my eye...I see the back cover of a book and go "Hey...is that Dave.." Indeed, it was him. The book was compilation of pictures and a some text blurbs spanning Depeche Mode's 25 year career. Its probably an import from France....so it cost me a pretty penny (Thank God credit cards exists ) . I have decided to share some of it with you guys, who take the time to scan and upload so much stuff here. Now, my scanner isn't perfect and some of the scans are a little scuffy, still, I trust you'll appreciate this book...Heck, I know I do ^_^ I have many anime/manga artbook and this book will go into this collection as my Depeche Mode artbook. I'll upload the thumbnails that way it'll less time for the thread to load. -Front Cover- -Back Cover- -Inside Cover- -Playing the Angel section- (FYI-I LUUUUuuuuuv this page) (I love this shot of Dave, the way is was built is inspiring me to make DM wallpapers again) Phew....thats all for now...More to come soon. Good thing I'm on vacation for the next two weeks huh.

Wow, that's cool! So how many pages does it have? Thanks for sharing. Huuum, from beginning to end, it looks like it has about 140 pages or so. Great book, I can only recommend it for its fantastic pictures. I wasn't as diligent as electrastar and only scanned in a few things. Thanks for your scans!! And that might not be a bad thing...I accidentally folded a page in the book when I scanned it... I'll have to be more careful when I scan some more.

Yeah, it's really an incredible book. In fact, I think I'm going to go to Archambault tomorrow to buy it. It does cost a pretty penny but I don't care, it's an amazing collector's item. And there are a lot of pictures I hadn't seen before.

Hehehe, you're very welcome. That book hasn't left my desk since I got it. I'll try to upload more as soon as I can. I kinda wasn't around my place during my vacation...but I'll try to get some in the computer ASAP.

Mazzy it's not on the UK site I've only seen it on the French Amazon site so far, but to be honest I haven't checked the others, it could be on the US one.
