Someone on another message board I frequent said that they saw the new smaller paperback version of 'Wild Boy' at a bookstore, and there's a new chapter at the end that updates what Andy's been doing, and talks about him running into Roger at a Who concert (Simon was there too but apparently made sure to avoid Andy). It apparently also talks about Reportage, RCM and Timbaland.
Has anybody seen this? Thanks!

I don't know it, but what I certainly know is that a new reprint of the book of August 2009 exists and it could have been addition something of this to which you bushels reporting, Sue.
However I don't know you but me, I already noticed last year that there are already some differences in the 2008 original version among the various presses. I for example have the Orion version with the identical hard cover that Andy has autographed in London last September but me I noticed that reading some bites on internet of the same chapters in my book there are some lacking sentences! This how come? Did the Orion perhaps bring some censorships? For me it is ridiculous because I think that it not to do as amended it because this can twist the understanding of whom doesn't know well Andy. Perhaps the American Grand Central justly left instead that bites? This is a matter of discussion very deep to my point of view that I have never known to to explain to myself nevertheless.

Thanks! I'll have to check the next time I'm in a bookstore. I hadn't heard anything either about there being a new chapter that talks about all that stuff.

At amazon.co.uk it costs only 5.79 pounds. I have ordered it along with a dvd of Hetty Wainthropp series, I'll keep you informed! ;D

Cool, thanks!!
I guess there's two paperback versions out now, one the same size as the hardback and another new one that's smaller in size. From what I can gather it's the smaller one that's got the new chapter.

Yup!! Thanks so much, Andrea!! It doesn't look like new small version is available in the US, it's not on the US Amazon website...

Reading the one comment left, it does seem that the original book has been altered although I've no idea how much.

I heard there were differences in the originals. The covers, definitely, the US got the red and the UK got a green cover. Some of the pictures are different, too, I think. I heard of but can't remember the differences in text. I can't wait to hear more from the new chapter!

No, unfortunately differences are not just a matter of photos or covers or language, there are also some differences in the text even if little but I noticed it through my version of the book and some bites posted on internet.
Yes, the new republished version of his book this last August is confirmed by different sources in internet, I also found some of it on Ebay.

Huh? Simon avoiding Andy huh...So then I guess what Gema posted about reading Simon's tweets recently, and how he tweeted he saw him and had a nice visit at the time he was in Ibiza not long ago was false? This makes me sad. Which is the truth. ?

I think what Gema said was true, Simon wouldn't lie as there would be no point.

I checked around and found this Twitter account from 'SimonJCLebon' but he doesn't say anything about Andy: twitter.com/SimonJCLeBON
