Big in Hong Kong


A luxurious booklet from Hong Kong, copyright Madmen Design, 1999. Apparently, a fan was disappointed by the Head Music CD booklet, and made his own, lush booklet. It has loads of pictures from all Suede incarnations, accompanying the Head Music lyrics. It are mostly promo pictures, directly from Sony. There's the usual discography as well, and the book comes together with four, long postcards. One picture has the band in Hong Kong at the end of the Coming Up tour.

Suede in Italian


This is one of the funniest Suede books around. Published in 1999 by Edizioni Grafiche Lo Vecchio. It contains all lyrics from Suede up to Head Music, with a translation in Italian. So The Two of Us read like Ha detto che saremmo potuti essere noi due... Even all B-sides, including early tracks like Be my God or Art are translated. Some obsessed Italian fan must have done the job. It also has a short biography and a discography. Very lovely.
