UK version of Hoskyns biography

The British version of Amazon lists a hardcover version of the upcoming Waits biography Lowside of the Road: A Life of Tom Waits by Barney Hoskyns.

It has a different cover picture than the US version, which is due out on April 14. And a typo in the title of the description.

    Amazon.com has the U.S. version at half the price of the UK one though...

    I see the US version has 288 pages, while the UK one has 352. Where could the difference in content come from?

    Probably just another error, mircea, a la 'Toad'.

    I sent Amazon a request the day I read this post and they corrected the title overnight. Good times.

    The author writes: The title is Lowside of the Road (as per Waits' original song title) and the book actually weighs in over 600 pages with notes and index. Hope y'all like it.
