I've been wanting to reply to this thread for ages but unsure how to go about it.

Basically I went to university with SHR and almost ended up living with her but last minute my friend changed her mind so it never happened. She was known for her pretty weird behaviour towards other people back then. I don't want to go too much into it incase she comes on her and starts arguing with me. But let's just say it wasn't pleasant the way she treated others and I definitely saw an ugly side to her.

She never showed that much interest in any Manics related issues back then. So I feel it's all relatively new in the last 5-10 years. She's completely latched on to Rachel's vulnerabilities and tried to make some kind of profit from them.

I don't feel this book will offer anything new apart from maybe a few new images for the Richey archive and the odd bit of additional info.

As so many people have said, if he wants not to be found then we should respect that, much as it's heartbreaking for his family.
