Orion Books, who published Nick Mason's wonderful "Inside Out: A Personal History of Pink Floyd", and Guy Pratt's hilarious "My Bass and Other Animals", have another essential book in the works, due for publication on October 21st 2010.

"The Making of Pink Floyd: The Wall" will be a lavishly illustrated hardbacked book by Gerald Scarfe, detailing his work behind the scenes with Roger Waters and, later on, the film with Alan Parker. Roger's announcement of his tour of The Wall has come with perfect timing for this upcoming book, and Roger has been keen to help out where he can with material that has been approved for use within this, the authorised, definitive book of The Wall.

Having been very fortunate to have seen some sample pages and images, we know that this really will be a book that all Pink Floyd fans will love. We're sure you will be knocked out by the quality of the book, and the depth of insight and the promised, never-before-seen material, is quite breathtaking.
