The New International Edition of Suzuki Piano School; Volume 1 includes French; German and Spanish translations. While the music selections in Volume 1 remain the same as the earlier edition; the spacious new engraving with minimal editing generally keeps only one piece per page.

Peter Hook writes in an intimate yet not so personal way. Hes a natural story teller. I found the book revelatory in that it captures the excitement and some of the glamour and youthful exuberance of being in a band discovering and developing themselves while at the same time de-glamourizes the whole thing with the wonderful often foul mouthes english humor along with describing the conditions of touring and recording that only the young could put up with. These guys did what they did for the sheer hell of it; and that at least to me is what rock and roll (and all its sub-genres) are about. Its hard not to wonder what may have been but they certainly made their mark during their short existence. I have always been a fan of Joy Division (I still remember hearing them the first time and sensing it was them from all that I had heard and read) ; and come away from their story more impressed with their music and legacy. Just a very well written book. Absolutely worth reading for any Joy Division fan; plus any fan curious about a very influential band not that well-known except by aficionados and also for anyone curious about what it really is like to be in a band trying to develop their abilities along the way; while also just surviving (for most anyway) along the way of them shooting for success.10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. First Person Real!By David BNot a pro writer. Not a ghost writer. Just a bloke talking about his mates. Brilliant read. Hook takes the reader inside and makes them a part of the real history rather than the mythology. Kudos Hooky!7 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Thoroughly enjoyableBy AmberI have read many books about my favorite band; Joy Division; so I did not expect to learn anything new from this book; but I was wrong! Hookie captures the essence of Ians personality in a way that makes me think differently of him. Ian was a buddy; one of the guys; a jokester; NOT the depressive melancholy man he has been made out to be in the press. His demons were deeply internalized and surfaced through his music; not his behavior. I was also surprised to learn of the difficulties the guys had after starting New Order. New Order are such an incredibly unique and solid band; I never would have thought that the guys mostly did not get along; and that they all had tremendous doubts about the project as a whole. I would recommend this book to fans of Joy Division and New Order alike.
