Well, what can you say...delay after delay.
I honestly think that Greg doesn't have a clue has to what he's doing.To keep on saying we've found even more stuff to put into the book is beyond words. Yes the fans have contributed massively having put out the call for items to be shared ( how disappointed must they be of waiting !) but having worked for QPL all these years the band must know what they have in the archive, thats why they employed him isn't it? Brian especially, he's so meticulous.
My thoughts are .. they've decided to split the original book into 4 parts at 100 + pages each at £50 a pop. I'm sick & tired of waiting for this to be published. The Bible was printed quicker!

Having seen the layout of the star Fleet book, I'm not very hopeful for this anyway.
The contrast between the photo of the tape in splendid isolation and the overlapping press cuttings is quite stark. Who thought a picture of a reel of tape would be interesting??

The press cuttings were provided by a friend of mine. Wish I'd thought of that because I have a few he didn't. Most likely he took photos on his phone of each one and sent them to Brian and they were cut and pasted by Brian's team. |

I received an email update earlier this month saying the I Want It All book's release date changed from November 29, 2024, to December 13, 2024.
And today, in the same month, I received another update saying it changed from December 13, 2024 to October 17, 2025.
So the latest delay went from from 2 weeks to 11 months, 4 weeks later!

Amazon U.K. is saying it’s released July 4th 2024 |

An email from whom? The publisher or some online seller, like Amazon? |

The email came from a book store, but now I see that there are at least three different future publication dates from various sellers online, and Amazon Japan even has two publication dates listed on one page for the single item. The strange thing is I can't even find a mention of the book on the Omnibus Press webpage, although it was there before. Maybe they'll put it up again closer to its release. Anyway, I'll keep my eye out for a UK release in July. |

I think the question here is ...' why? Why so many setbacks / delays with this?
No reason's or explanations from Greg. Just endless disappointment waiting for publication , yet they readily take deposits. I think this was just a pipe dream of his that's probably never going to materialise.

I do recall him saying that the reason for the delay was that more things had been found, so although it would be delayed, it would be better and therefore worth the wait. 2012, I think it was.... |

Also. Greg's not responsible for Amazon accepting orders from people gullible enough to think this book will ever actually exist

Haven't really heard anything about the book yet, but I just wondered if the reason for the delays, especially for the "recent" delay/s, might be all the things from the Sotheby's auction last year? I've heard some people saying that QPL got scans/copys from every kind of document, like handwritten lyrics, pictures, the bills and those things. I'd guess there are a lot of things from the auction which where new things for the book? Also, wasn't there the thing that Greg Brooks archived all the old Queen things from Brians house, so maybe they were also "new"?

I guess it's possible, but there's always going to be something "new" so at what point does he draw a line and say right, that's this book finished? |

At the Convo he said he would sign it in a next year. He didn't explain why was delaying it, only that there were so many pages, over 1000.
