crystal visions tourbook
 

the tourbook is on ebay. i just saw it.

Yeah I saw it too, but now I can't find the auction. I think the list price was around $40. I saved the scans though...

luv,

The cover looks kind of cool....... :nod: And thanks Shel for posting those!

Very cool...I'll have to have my friend pick me up a few

This tourbook looks A LOT better than the 2005 tour especially the cover and closeups.

Thank you for the scans, not bad for a tour that just started. Lots of times these tour books don't show up to buy until the tour is about half over. Would love to see a tour book with candid Stevie photos though, but still... looks pretty good.

The photos look nice, but everything else looks like ****.

"Touring 2007"? Why the "-ing"?

And come on...my Photo Shop skills are measly at best, and I could have made nicer looking text.

I think the only text that looks like **** is the front...I love "The Ladies" and The Boots are back!

From what I can see, there are some nice images in the tour book. But overall, it is what it is: a piece of crap. Yes, as someone mentioned, the type treaments are criminally amatuer, as I suspect most of the layouts are.

The cover, while more graphically ambitious than previous others, is a mess. Again, the over-use of 25 year old images of Stevie is perplexing. Talk about living in the past!

Many fans will convince themselves that this is acceptable. In lieu of nothing else, we accept another substandard piece of....collateral.

But isn't it supposed to be Crystal Visions of her past? I think the cover is beautiful:nod: Just not the font...

Wow, the tourbook is kind of what I had in mind. Since the tour is in support of a Greatest Hits album, the tourbook should follow suit. It should be classic photos of Stevie (like the album is) and throw in a few news ones as well. Most artists plan the tour to mirror the album it's in support of.

Nitpicking aside....it's still crap. And we justify and settle for it.

That's your opinon baby:D

Yeah well, we can bitch and moan and whine and groan all we want to (and you know we will because that's what we do) but the bottom line is that Chris Nicks will never outsource this for whatever reason, Stevie won't ever take it away from him for whatever reason, and some of us will keep buying them (me included). It is what it is. Sure it could be better but I suspect that if a Wild Heart style book came out today there'd still be people claiming it looked like crap. Or that it cost too much. Or that it looked like crap and cost too much. Or that it could have been better had they done x, y, and z. Sound familiar?

ehhh, it's not as bad as I was picturing it, but it seems like the tourbooks get worse and worse.
