For this book, Jahn has written the foreword:

Several months have passed since Øyvind Brigg and Hans-Olav Forsang put forward the idea of creating a book about me. It would be a story in words and pictures about my career, the recent explosion of sympathy from thousands aav Norwegians, and an attempt to break down my ego. I was flattered, very pleased and proud. It would come on top of everything else that has pleased me in this hectic year. They wanted everything to be created in the full understanding and transparency, with the reading of the manuscript, and presentation of the pictorial sections. And it was really collaborative. Many hours of tape recording, on tour, constant questions and talk about things I had never talked to the press about. Things that were pulled out, old and new that I had not thought about it carefully ... It was a nice feeling to be taken seriously with humor and action besides. That the boys would go to the bottom of the issues and present myself in an honest and professional manner. So will you see and read and think for yourself. For me, it's nice to know that the result is: This is me

Herodes Falsk - 1983.
Currently Norwegian Publisher A.Ş. - ISBN 82-10-02458-2.

Hi!
I will for those of you who are not already aware of it, do note that all proceeds from this book go to charity. namely, to Herodes Falsk.
And he may need it! At that time Herodes Falsk was a little boy asked his teacher about what he would do when he was a big boy. "Nothing" Herodes said, and we can probably agree that he has done it quite so well. I will also take the opportunity to disclaim all the rumors that Herodes Falsk should be dissolved. According to Herodes Falsk`s contract with Prima vera he is going to have to keep up with itself in at least two more years. Moreover, he is too wimpy to endure the pain that a resolution would entail.

To submit this project in one sentence:
Grooves of the fjord and fjeld is a list of what was released on record by the Norwegian rock and rock-related artists and bands in the years 1955 to 1977. But it does not stop there, here are also included what might come later of unreleased cuts, etc. from the same period.

Zero Points.
Tim Moore - 2006.
Jonathan Cape - ISBN 0-224-07780-5. ISBN 978-0-224-07780-4.


The dazzling emptiness, the reinforced stubbornness of national stereotypes. A scoreboard that has borne the stamp of shameless and corrupt love / hate voting between the neighboring countries ... .. Despite this, the Eurovision Song Contest pulled us toward the couch through the long decades after ABBA.
Somewhere, between the power ballad the Austrian, hand-jivende Latvia and Malteserske electrical guys, wondering the biggest mistake of them all: our inexhaustible fascination for the unfortunate, who are abandoned to a lonely journey to the windswept peaks of the Mountains Fiasco, without a single point related to their name.
With a lighter look on the entertainment world's most ragende humiliation, More Tim tries to track down the fourteen unfortunate Grand Prix Erne, who have come and gone since Jahn Teigen left the Palais des Congres scene in 1978, where he stretched his suspenders with subsequent split jumps.
More Tim has traveled from Lisbon to Liverpool, from the Black Sea to the Baltic region, the continent through, to hear their unique stories, the tragic, the absurd, and the uplifting. A retelling of a journey through an amazing development of the Grand Prix.
A tribute to the poppkulturelle meaninglessness, which does not at least have helped prevent a third star in the EU flag in three decades, and who has also speeded up the end of Western Europe's last dictatorship.

More Tim is a rare talent in comedy. "Without doubt, the funniest reiseskildreren in the world". He has found inspiration in the Eurovision Song Contest with its unfortunate participants.
"Nul Points" is his best book to date.
