Anna Vissi The Greatest Greek Star: have a sneak peek at the new book!

The long anticipated book by Stelios Konteas which is published in celebration of Anna's Vissi 40 years in music industry, is finally here!! It is a book about Anna, written and published with her approval of course, but wihout her direct involvement.

The main reason of the publication - supported of course by Anna Vissi herself - was the fundraising element of it, as two very important fundraising institutions for children in Greece and Cyprus will get monetary support from the book's sales. More specifically, 3 euros from the sale of each copy in Greece will be given directly for the support of The Smile of the Child, while 3 euros from the sale of each copy in Cyprus and abroad will be given directly to Sophia Foundation for Children.

It is a very detailed and of high quality publication of 276 pages which includes a very specific selection of photographs - by famous photographers (who allowed the use of their images without copyrights in order to support the charitable purpose of the book), but also amateur prohotographers, Anna's fans who willingly gave their visual material from years 1996-2013.

The book re-publishes some of the most interesting extracts from articles found in newspapers and online sources throughout Anna's career, as well as the most important parts from Anna's interviews. There is also a special chapter with statements by famous people about Anna Vissi, and a full list with all the awards and prizes that she has received all these years.

The first special edition is not expected to be released in bookshops but you can order it online via the following website:(www.avthebook.gr). The price of the book is 29.90 euros including the shipping costs (for cities in Greece). The book can also be sent in Cyprus or anywhere else abroad.

Supporters of the publication are:

For Greece: Mad (MadTV - Mad Radio 106,2 - www.mad.gr), Panik Records, Anna's Vissi official fan club fannatics.gr, the newspaper University Press, the magazine Cityway and Cosmopoliti.gr

For Cyprus: The publishing house The Fileleftheros, the magazine Down Town and the radio station Sfera 96.8.

Anna Vissi wrote specifically for this edition:

''I sincerely thank Stelios Konteas for his idea and all his efforts for their realisation. I read things about me which I did not know, which I hoped but did not expect to be said for me, and which - to be honest - did make me proud. How can this not happen when all these friends or not, important people, famous people appreciate and raise you so much. Perhaps, it is good sometimes to realise how we are viewed through the eyes of other people. And I do want to say how grateful I feel because besides all the famous people, I receive immense love and appreciation from the thousands of friends of my music and my voice. Best of luck to the book and his realiser..."
