    Prepared by Sabine, MS's personal assistant for years. This is Michael's actual biography, not some unauthorized autobiography. Released this week in Europe, 130 pages, initially only in German.

    According to Schumacher, the intent of the book is "to let the people who have followed my career be able to get a closer idea of that environment I've just left".

    Umm, so who wrote this?

    If Schumi wrote it then it's an autobiography. If it's written by someone else, its a biography.

    I'm not sure how you can have an unauthorized autobiography, unless Tyler Durden wrote it. ;)

    "Prepared" by Sabine Kehm, Schumacher's personal assistant, so its sort of an semi autobiography, but it is being announced as his biography.

    No idea as to English version.

    Like with any biography about any celebrity I much rather read the "unauthorized" version. They're normally a lot closer to the truth than a idealized image by a spin doctor.

    While at Autosport International a couple weekends ago with a magazine subscription we got the book "Michael Schumacher - The Whole Story" by Christopher Hilton. Very good read.

    Are there any accounts of all night wild parties with crazy women?

    Wait, this is MS we're talking about, so we'll see pics of him in the car, at a soccer field or in the gym....

    Right on. Pics of the wifey riding horses and the kids playing in the sandbox. The archetype of the picture perfect German family. Yawn.
