foreword by Jim Jarmusch

In the weeks leading up to The White Stripes' tenth-anniversary show, the band embarked on an adventurous and unprecedented tour that took them to every province and territory in Canadafrom ocean to permafrostplaying unusual venues to crowds of all sizes, and culminating with the anniversary show. Photographer Autumn de Wilde traveled with the band into town and over tundra, capturing the beauty of the landscape, the exhilarating power of the live shows, the band's intense connection with their fans, and Jack and Meg White's on- and offstage lives, all with rare and candid access. In nearly 300 color and black-and-white images, this remarkable book documents an epic journey and an amazing band.

Autumn de Wilde is the author of Elliott Smith and the forthcoming Death Cab For Cutie (Fall 2010), and has worked with Beck, Spoon, Jenny Lewis, M. ward, Eels, Rodarte, and many others. She lives in Los Angeles.

Jim Jarmusch is a filmmaker whose work includes Stranger than Paradise, Mystery Train, Dead Man, Broken Flowers, and The Limits of Control.
