Mysterious official book from 1999 "Tour de force"

[drove all night]

Anyone here who knows something about a "mysterious" book about Celine, written by Georges Hebert Germain?

 

It's called "Tour de force" and was only handed out to very special customers of Avon in the USA.

yeah I have it! I can't remember what's inside now right away, but it has a lot of pictures and I think a shorter version of the biography George herbert wrote

"Tour De Force" is an authorized biography book in English about Celine Dion, written by Georges-Hebert Germain and published in August 1998 by Publications International, Ltd.

 

First, in 1997, Georges-Hebert Germain wrote "Celine" (a biography book in French about Celine Dion, published by Libre Expression in Quebec, Canada). Then, he wrote the English version named "Celine: The Authorized Biography", wich was published on September 1, 1998 by Dundurn Press. In August 1998 was published "Tour De Force" (in paperback) also written by Germain, but it is considered a condensed version of "Celine: The Authorized Biography" (although it was released before). "Tour De Force" was sold through the AVON door-to-door selling network. It is a nice book, short but with some real information in there. Nice to have, but doesn´t replace "Celine: The Authorized Biography".

I know it's a bit off-topic but anyone of you have the authorized biography and/or "Tour de force" in .doc file???

I own the original books so I hope noone will say I'm asking for a free copy, lol.

I just need a .doc version as it would be easier for me to read.

Actually, a .doc version of any book on Céline would be very helpful for me!

The only one I own is "My story, my dream".

If anyonone can help me, please send me a PM!

Thanks!
