HOW LONG HAS THE BOOK BEEN GOING?
....The madonna ultiography was first published in 1992, first updated in 1994, with another in 1995, another in 1998/99 with this updated being A4 with over 300 pages, listing just about everything Madonna from 1980-2006 from over 45 countries.
WHATS NEW IN THE 2006 EDITION!
....Firstly I have had to change the format to A4 in order to hold the vast amount of information and amazing images that I have collected.
The UK section has been totally updated with many more official Instore CDR and promotional cassettes, as well as many other UK goodies. There is also UK collector-written sections that I know your love! All discographies have been updated.
All World sections and discographies have been updated fully with many new items added. The many world collector's guides have been updated with new images added!
THE PERFECT COMPANION!
....By using the main indexes or individual section indexes you'll be able to find individual collector topics, country discographies, and reference to just about every piece of interesting or official Madonna memorabilia in existence throught the whole globe.
IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BIGGER!
....I have already sold the Madonna Ultiography in many countries throughout the world including USA, Japan, Germany, France, Holland, Australia, New Zealand, etc, and is generally bought by serious collectors of Madonna music and memorabilia, so the Madonna Ultiography is getting viewed specifically by collectors of Madonna music and memorabilia, serious and novice, who are always looking for new sources of music and memorabilia.
....Since 1992 the Madonna Ultiography has grown and grown, and is now a comprehensive and valuable collectors reference guide, as many people have written and said. I have been writing the Ultiography since 1990, originally created to iron out ambiguous Madonna collector information, caused by so many items from so many countries being sold by so many sources. I set up the original issued to cover just the UK pressings, offering a long awaited standard to collecting Madonna. Now the guide covers just about everything interesting or official from Madonna, if you can't find an item ~ let me know and I'll add it!
NO ONE SHOULD COLLECT WITHOUT IT!
Whether you are new to collecting Madonna, a dealer wanting to know more or a collector since the early days (like the author!), this handbook will be very useful and will probibly become an essential collecting tool.
