    This also came out as a hard back book via Ear Books/ Polydor with English/German written information on the back of the fly cover catalogue number 06024 98412213, it was actually a really nice idea with the 5 CD's on the inside and back cover and the book (same as the one in the box set . Personally I think looks better than the box set !
