Advice urgently needed/Taking chances photo tour book

[zoe marie]

I have bought a Taking chances tour book from Ebay and am questioning it authenticity as it has a few blurry images that I would think wouldn't be if it was authentic? Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like an unofficial copy???

 

If it is a fake what should I do about it? If I complain to Ebay they will ask for it back and I will have to pay postage so therefore out of pocket and no item too!

 

Really confused about this and so I welcome any and all help you may be able to offer! Zoe Marie

I am 99,9% sure it is real. I compared it with my own book, and the photos are blurry there too, and I bought my copy at one of the concerts I've been.

Is your cover just card? The reason I ask is that the one I saw at my concert was like metal on the top and thicker than this copy which is another reason I question it! Thank you for replying!

Hi!

 

I don't know if this helps any:

It's supposed to show a copy that was bought at a concert in Manchester.

At 2:30 you can see the overall view.

 

There is a silvery finish on the cardboard cover, yes, but I don't think it's that thick...? Mine isn't and it was bought in Stockholm, so it should be authentic

 

If I were you, I wouldn't worry, unless you paid a ridiculous asking price?

 

Just enjoy your copy; the book is amazing

 

Take care!

Yeah those grainy pics are part of the official book. There's a topic about it in the Old Tours that has scans of the book as well that you should be able to compare with.

Thank you as I really thought mine wasn't right but it looks exactly like that Youtube one! Only paid £14.19 for it from someone in France so glad I bought it now!!!

In any case I don't think the tour book has been forged, has it?

[zoe marie]

I don't think so Javito!

Hmm, I've never heard of any fakes of this book so guess your is genuine.

Plus, you've bought it in France where it was widely distributed and guess there are quite some people who got bored of it or who bought it but are not that big fans so they're now selling it at low price.

Lucky you!
