Yeah, that's the same book. I'd also have to give it a mixed review. It's basically a collection of pictures (most never before published) with some interviews (also new) throughout. The photographs are often quite striking and the interviews do fill in some of the gaps in Dinger's life (especially when it comes to the bitter breakup of La Dusseldorf). But as a whole, I felt it was more style than substance. It's arranged to replicate Dinger's minimal style, I guess, which means that many times there is just one photo per page. Despite being 96 pages in all, the book feels kinda slight. Especially for its price (50 Euros, I think, is what I paid for it).
