Book: Waiting For Another War

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Just finished this and absolutely loved it. Well written and compelling. Needs making into a screenplay, surely?

Third printing on the way. Unfortunately, being a jackass who needs a third cup of coffee, I deleted the email before I thought to mention it here, but I'm sure someone else can provide details.

Here goes -

Good morning Sisters fans.

To celebrate the new Sisters tour we've done a fresh printing of Waiting For Another War.

WFAW Third Printing Cover 042023
This will be the third printing, after 200 hardbacks (first printing) and 1000 paperbacks (second).

The content of this printing is identical to the second printing with the exception of a couple photo swaps (we could not license the Philippe Carly photos for the new printing, so have replaced them with new photos -- at least one of which is previously unseen), and some minor corrections.

The book will be ready in June, and pre-orders will start tomorrow, Monday 24 April 2023, at 8am East Coast USA time/ 1pm UK time, from the book website.

This time, Rough Trade in London will also be taking pre-orders and fulfilling in the UK and EU. You will be able to link to the Rough Trade pre-order page directly through the book website.

Thank you all for your continued interest and support.
Chris

That's fantastic news! Coincidentally, I bumped into Trevor this week, in the FB Sisters group, where I was defending a man who just had a Sisters tattoo done with the head facing right. Defending because I don't see the point in telling the poor soul it's facing the wrong way after he's gone and had it done. Some people just seem to completely lack empathy though.

Hey MrChris and Ian,

Thank you for posting this news here.

The proof copy has arrived on my desk and it looks great.

I am excited about the upcoming tour, hope to meet some more fans, and happy with the new printing!

Started it on my coach back to Leeds on Monday. Couldn’t put it down. Finished already. Absolutely superb.

And what a lovely guy Trevor is too. 😊

How i have managed to hold out for almost 30 months before re-reading the Trilogy i dont know, other than i have far too eidectic a memory to rush these things.
So: what order do i reread them in? obviously first readings were dictated by the order in which they arrived but now i have all 3....
first world problems eh? :roll:

I have the first two printings of Trevor's book and loved it each time. Might as well grab the third pressing and give it another go!

Zadar—I’m all for collecting extra copies of favorite books, particularly different editions of them! Some people think that’s crazy, but maybe it’s not. Electronic copies of books won’t resemble their paper originals for much longer. There’s a lot of revision going on under the auspices of “new & improved” edits, and younger readers, in particular, don’t seem know the difference.

I too have purchased and read this book 1980 - 1985, and loved it.

Is there any plan for a follow up volume covering 1986 - 1993 for example ?

Banned from anywhere ... except here. Gotta admit I'm curious to read your review now.

Trevor is a Heartlander too. I find it very difficult to believe he’d get anybody banned from anywhere for stating their opinion. He really doesn’t strike me to be that way. Can you elaborate?

Can't imagine Trevor behaving like this.
We all here know him as a kind and lovely guy who is - unlike others - definitely not looking for trouble ...

Are you getting yourself into some mess again, Panzerfaust ... :?: :evil: :lol: ...

Hmm, some of us have met Trevor in person and know what he's like. I don't believe you're telling the full story, @panzerfaust, also noting that you've been warned over your behaviour on this forum before.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

I just looked it up, are you referring to the comment that got him described as an "Internet Hard Man" by Chris Catalyst?

no one thing. just his near troll-like tendencies over the years. like i say, Trevor's my friend. I dont take kindly to people talking shite about my friends.
