Information
Versions
The book will come in two different versions: first and second pressing. The first pressing will be signed by Flake and is limited to (guessed) 10,000 copies. When all these are sold out, the book won't include the autograph and no numbering.
On 25.03.2016 an audio book by Flake was released.
Content
The book is not separated into chapters. It is an ongoing story. Flake doesn't really follow a line while writing, he writes whatever comes to his mind. The book itself has 396 pages. It includes not only stories, but also hundreds of photographs. Also the book contains no names of bands or people. But from the stories you can guess if it is about Feeling B or Rammstein.
