Also includes an interview with Zappa himself that his former secretary Pauline Bird did during the tour as well as one with Albonico.
It comes in a presentation box with a set of prints.

Andrew Greenaway:
The softcover version of my FZ88 book with Sergio Albonico is now available from Wymer UK (or there’s a few signed copies available from my online store). For those who bought the limited edition hardback, you don't need this one too: yes, it has a different cover, I've corrected a few typos and added the Last US Show to the discography plus one ‘new’ quote from Chad Wackerman about how the band was initially put together for a TV show that never happened. But that's it. Save your money for gas!
