I ordered this as well. The site says it is released November 4 but that it is available for immediate delivery as there are advance copies available. I will update if I receive a shipping notice.

Received my copy yesterday. It's a really nice accompaniment to I Am The Wolf; very moving insights into selected songs. It's making me look forward to the autobio even more.

I wonder how much longer it will take to reach the US mail - I ordered it too but it's not here yet and I'm dying to get it!

For some reason when I bought it (and it was really just me not paying attention), I thought it was a digital order. Even though we have to wait a bit, I'm really glad to see this is a physical release |

There's so much he reveals of which I was unaware I found myself almost in tears. I hope that's not too much info... Ben |

Received in New York
Interesting insights. I still want to hear about On the Steps of the Cathedral (real Cathedral or the idea of one?...if real, which one?...), though it's not included in the book

Got my book in the mail and will probably read it tonight. Tis a short read. However, since it's just an extension of his last book and fills in the gaps for songs that came after the last book, I noticed a few things in the back.
1) Murder in Fugue (new song): Looks like Mark has another collaboration with a producer / musician names Alessio Natalizia, know as Not Waving. It mentions that he recorded six songs...buy the book to read the rest.
2)Seven Gates (new song) - Just the name of a song for the 2020 release of Black Phoebe...buy the book to read the rest.

Bloody hell still waiting..... lol me too...ordered mine june 3rd and its shipping to canada, so I don't really know when to expect the book to arrive. On an unrelated note, the ten dollar airpods i bought from wish a month ago arrived 5 days earlier than expected but according to the tracking info they are still in China. They actually work pretty good (for now)...see how long they last. My daughter thinks they are hers now and told me to buy another pair for myself...... |

So am I reading that correctly - that the featured songs are just from the past few years, rather than covering work from across his entire career? |

No, there's roughly 30 songs covered over the span of his solo career (from Winding Sheet to future projects). There's even a few blurbs/songs from side projects so it's not just limited to his solo albums. AS someone noted before, it's a great extension to his first book |

I don't think it hurts to list the Songs he writes about here. No content of course.
Introduction (4 pages)
Writing Songs (3)
The River Rise
Riding the Nightingale
Last One in the World
Resurrection Song
Sleep With Me (less than half a page)
Skeletal History (less than half a page)
Lexington Slow Down
Bombed (just the lyrics there, no content/story at all)
Strange Religion
When Your Number Isn't Up
Morning Glory Wine (less than half a page)
Mirrored (less than half a page)
Revival
All Misery/Flowers
Another Night Out
Ode to Sad Disco
Harborview Hospital
The Lonely Night (less than half a page)
No Bells on Sunday (less than half a page)
There is a Serpent Coming
I am the Wolf (less than half a page)
Torn Red Heart (less than half a page)
Staring Down the Street
Old Swan
With Animals
Axis (less than half a page)
Song to Manset (less than half a page)
Murder in Fugue
Penthouse High (less than half a page)
Seven Gates
80 pages in total, of which about 45 are text and the rest is filled with artwork.
For 8 pounds, it is totally worth the read. Puts some perspective on quite a few tunes. Some interesting insights I never heard about before.
