Did you read it yourself already Riccardo ?

[Riccardo]

Not yet, writting 3 big tests this week. It's horrible. And i have to update this page and Forum, lots of work.

[chris27fr]

[serg]

Later a competition to win the book will be start, more information will follow...

Do you have to live in Europe in order to win the book?

[Jack]

Does it include pics as well ?

[C.P.A.]

the book is under his way to sweden but it takes a while :S that's no fun

[Jack]

Lucky you !

[Xanthrax]

I haven't read it yet, but I hope it will be better than the cover. :|

[C.P.A.]

yes .. I hope so 2

[Kam]

I haven't read it yet, but I hope it will be better than the cover. :|

It's a teen pop star biography/fact book. Don't expect Shakespeare. :P

[Jack]

And did she contribute to it or not even partly ?

[C.P.A.]

Don't expect Shakespeare



Lucky me!! hehe .. hoped to get to know her a little better, certainly not Shakespeare ;)

[Jack]

You can't have everything ... Unfortunately :?

[AlizeeCalifornia]

I can't find anywhere on the net to buy the book! Could someone please give me a good site name that orders stuff in US doller amounts....I don't understand france money and stuff like that. The american amazon.com does not sell it....

Also, Riccardo!!!! If you read this ! I think I kind of trust you better than anyone here because I'm new to the forum , yet a long time fan of not just Alizee but your site as well. And plus , I have talked to you before on IRc and on Chat......my alias on there was _Alizee .

Anyways, I think I talked to you before about me buying stuff off of you personaly. If I can't find the book online , buy it for me and I will give you money for the book, for getting me the book, and for shipping and handling. .........Tell me what you think about it ?

[serg]

I don't understand france money and stuff like that.

:? Uhh, you don't understand the Euro?

[Jack]

???



What's there to understand about ?

[C.P.A.]

Maybe I can help u out .. u can contact me :P

[C.P.A.]

I can help u out I think ... contact me

[AlizeeCalifornia]

uuummm no. I don't understand the Euro. I have lived in the US my whole life and have never used or even owned the Euro.....lol.

And it's not just that, but my french is still alittle green and I don't understand alot of the stuff on the websites that sell alizee stuff, hence, why I'm taking french classes at Adult school.

Third, most french sites I don't think really order to the US. and if they do , I don't know about it , because I can't read ....lol

Ordering is actually pretty easy. I recommend http://www.fnac.com -- just know that you'll need a credit card.



As far as understanding the site goes, you can use the Google Translator (http://www.google.com/language_tools) to help you with entire pages or just small amounts of text. XE.com (http://www.xe.com/ucc/) will let you know what your charges in Euros will translate to in American dollars.

[jeromegreenday]

1 euro = 1 u.s dollar according to the ftse market at the moment i hope that makes it easy for you to understand

[serg]

Jerome is right their the € & $ are pretty much 1:1.

[Jack]

Do you like the design of the coins ?

[loveherfromusa]

I ordered and received "Mes Courants Electriques..." from amazon.fr and had no problem. I don't speak French, but amazon.fr is set up just like amazon.com and if you know what you are looking for, it isn't hard to figure out. I also got the CD for much less than I would have to pay for it here. I think I'll look for the book when I sign off.

[Jack]

Actually it is often better to order a few things at the same times as transcontinental shipping costs sometimes are pretty high ...

[C.P.A.]

yes but sometimes one can't wait anymore Jack ! I ordered all things separately :wink:

[Jack]

Oh boy ... Those Dutchmen ... :roll: :wink:

[TheLarch]

http://www.jinxrecords.com/ should have it too.



As for the Euro, is basically on par with the U.S. Dollar. You can still try canadian sites. Quebéq is a french speaking community, so you're likelly to have a better chance there.



But is this book in English, or just french?

[Nikodemus]

Euro is much stronger than dollar TheLarch. One euro is 1,1734 dollars today.

[The_Honorable]

I sense a bit of pride in your last comment, Nikodemus, no? :wink: However, a little basic economics would make you realize that a weak dollar is certainly not in the best interest of any European nation....

proxis.be is a good alternativ for amazon.fr. It´s available in French, Dutch and of course English :wink: - sometimes cheaper than amazon.fr. I prefer amazon.fr: faster delivery. :wink:

[C.P.A.]

OMG who cares about the price to pay for things of that girl :)

[Greycap]

100 points for C.P.A! damn, is that fella clever *lol* ;)

[Greycap]

buy the way, i hate the cover of the book! (just to add something usefull to that topic :)

Does anyone like it? :wink: I hate it too.

[Nikodemus]

I know that The_Honorable.



I hate the cover of the book too. It is like Japanese anime.

[TheLarch]

Yes. The Euro is just a little stronger than the US$ now. But it's not THAT much of a difference. If it was so, I would start ordering stuff from the US like mad! :)

[Greycap]

that's what i'm doing at the mom :) the $ is damn cheap in relationsship to the swiss franc, so, i allready got 3 books and more stuff to come :mrgreen:

[Nikodemus]

Euro is 18 % stronger than dollar and 18 is not little.

[C.P.A.]

shame on the designer of the book cover, they could at least put a nice picture on it or better ask an proffesional to design it, I would have done it even for free!



*PS mm probably the reason why I am still not rich ;)

[Nikodemus]

Any picture of Alizée would be better than that animedrawing cover.

[C.P.A.]

yeah you are right!

[loveherfromusa]

To TheLarch: It doesn't matter what the exchange rate is, you are much more likely to find Alizee on the European sites. I wish her CDs were cheaper in US, but they aren't.

As far as the book cover goes, if you have looked at the other books in the series, they have the same cheap caricature. I think they could do better with all the books they publish. (I still have the book coming. Amazon.fr emailed me that it is on the way.)

[TheLarch]

loveherfromusa, I meant in terms of delivery... :wink:



As for the cover, I actually like it. Sure. Like any of, I prefer a PICTURE of her. But I think the caricature is nice, and has the advantage of avoiding the terrible choice of what picture to choose to best represent her. Would you like THAT responsability?

[Greycap]

sure, no problem :mrgreen:

[TheLarch]

:)

[loveherfromusa]

But I think the caricature is nice, and has the advantage of avoiding the terrible choice of what picture to choose to best represent her. Would you like THAT responsability?I will take on the responsibility of choosing a picture of her for the cover of any book. I will, of course, need to spend long hours consulting with her in order to choose the best picture. I'll make the sacrifice.

[Greycap]

who said it just has to be one pic? how about something like a collage? (its a french word and it doesn't mean university ;) )

[The_Honorable]

"Collage" is an English word as well (taken from the French), and it means exactly what you want it to mean! :P

[C.P.A.]

are we having fun here people :) lol!

[Greycap]

i just wanted to make sure everyone understand what i want to tell ya :)

[C.P.A.]

well I do. I guess :)

[The_Honorable]

I'm glad we got that all cleared up, then! :wink:

[The Mighty Atom]

Hey, wait a sec.



Who is Mathias Goudeau? I searched on proxis.nl, and there i saw he has also written a book about Alizee, however, there is now picture. So, is he the same writter?



MuzzleFlash

[salauddin]

Is the book going to be translated into any other language, preferably English??

[loveherfromusa]

I just got the book today. I'm sure reading it will improve my French. The motivation is certainly there.

[Greycap]

how about posting a review in here? for all the poor bast*rds that can't afford a own one..:)

[j_f_j]

does anybody know, where in Switzerland I can buy this book???? :?:

[C.P.A.]

amazon.fr just order ! very simple not to expensive as well!

[Greycap]

susch luegsch mal bi directmedia.ch oder books.ch.....villicht hends es scho.

[Nikodemus]

Internet stores are very handy and not too expencive!

[j_f_j]

ok mach ich.

häsch s'buech dänn scho???

[Greycap]

nö, kein bedarf im momänt.

[C.P.A.]

mmmm weird language u speak ... it's not german it's not swedish ... but Swiss :oops:

[Nikodemus]

It is weird to me too. Is it Romansch?

[SS]

and when we'll buy the book in our RF?

[Greycap]

weird weird weird......you are weirdos, man. do u think finnish or swedish does sound normal for us? no, it sounds WEIRD! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: and no, it's not rumantsch, it's ordinary swiss-german. (by the way, rumantsch does sound weird ;) ;) )

[Nikodemus]

OK
