New book "Céline Dion & la France"

[woodstock]

I spent these last few months on writing my first book about Céline, and most precisely about her career in France.

The book wil be available only in french and it will be sold in french stores but you can find it on Amazon, Fnac etc.

This will be a 168-page book, with a hundred of photos, including some rare and never seen before ones (recording sessions of "D'Eux" by Claude Gassian, for example).

 

Here is the cover and a preview of the inside :

Haha, I asked them to the photographer, whom I have been working with on other books before

Le 10 octobre c'est un anniversaire pour moi aussi : en 2020, cela fera 24 ans que j'ai vu Céline sur scène pour la première fois

Merci beaucoup, en tout cas !

Thanks a lot ! That means a lot to me.

I can't wait for the book to be available for you all

You'll have very soon the chance to win 5 copies of the book through a contest on the french fanpage https://www.facebook.com/celinefansite/

There will be 5 questions to answer, all of them about her french career !

Looks like a nice book!

I wonder... Did you have to get Celine's authorization to get the book published and to use the pictures?

[woodstock]

Oh no, nothing of the kind.

Everyone is free to write about any artist's career and here it's very respectful and only focused on public things. There is nothing about her intimacy, except what she chose to share with her fans and might be related to her career.

The same goes for the pictures : the publisher buys the copyrights to the agencies and/or the photographers. On top of that, some photographers accept to sell some photos only with the authorisation of the management (that means that if they are not OK with what you intend to do, they just don't give the go and you can't have the photos you want).

Thank you! I thought it would be a lot more difficult for approvals, etc. Bonne chance! Edited September 7, 2020 at 02:18 PM by Xpresso

Céline was so naturally beautiful during the SISDA sessions.
