So, others around here may or may not be familiar with this book. This author Jon Collins wrote and published a book in 2002 or 2003 titled "Marillion: Separated Out 1979-2002" But it has been out of print for quite awhile.

A book, as a longtime dedicated fan of Marillion, I have never read, nor had I even heard about until a little over a year ago.

But if you do a search online to purchase a copy, the cost ranges between $126 and $474 (or more) in just searching some of the usual sites (amazon, ebay, barnes and noble).

And this version, the "Redux" version, I guess is a fully updated version, maybe through around the time of "Less is More" or at least "Happiness is the Road." But I'm not sure if it ever actually got published.

I just signed Lucy Jordache's wall on facebook asking about it, but I thought it might be worth bringing up in some places as well (The Marillion.com message board I imagine might also be a good place, but for some reason I wonder if I did, I might get someone pointing me to an FAQ link that has been referred to many other times to those who don't read that message board regularly).

but here's a few links that give a little info about it.

Also a note, as this author, Jon Collins site shows, he also wrote a biography about Rush titled "Chemistry" which might be worth looking for, but based on this Marillion one, I wonder if it's out of print. and perhaps also rather spendy to find a used copy.

edit: I just found a New copy of "Chemistry" on Amazon for about $28, LOL. Too bad their doesn't seem to be any copies of this Marillion book New or Used for that affordable a price, lol.

I have a signed copy of the original book (signed by the whole band, and I think by Jon). I'm FaceBook friends with Jon so I'll ask about the updated edition - I can't remember either if it was ever printed.

I have original copies of both Separated Out and Chemistry that I want to get rid of. I can sell them separately (pun intended) or as a combo. PM me if you are interested.

No, the books are worth keeping, if you are into that sort of thing. Since I haven't looked at the books in years after reading them, there's really no point in keeping them.
