David Vincent 8 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 "John Williams Biography 'Over the Moon', the first book about the life and works of John Williams, has been written in Spanish, Fernando Pereyra reports. The 400-page edition, written by Argentinian film director Roberto Aschieri and Chilean composer Fabrizio de Negri Murillo, includes a detailed biography, an extensive compilation of quotes and opinions by Williams, pictures, sheet music excerpts and in-depth analysis on every Williams score. The new book, already available in Chile, has been approved by Williams himself and will be also distributed Argentina, Mexico and Spain."Does anybody know how can I get this book or if somebody is ready to trade one with me ?I also heard about an english translation, so is there one available ?

Dean1700 4 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I believe this is in Chilean Peso. I worked it out that one Chilean Peco equals about $0.023 cents Australian which if correct works out to be about $161.00 Australian. Geez I hope I got that one right :?
