Editorial Review:
Geri Halliwell has been written about more than almost any other pop artist. But how much of it is true? This glorious mix of over 100 exclusive photographs and an honest and heartfelt text was one of the biggest publishing events of 2002. Now, in this new mass-market format, Just for the Record will do it all over again in 2003.
With over 70,000 words of text, Geri’s story is revealing, frank, brutally honest and, at times, shocking. The book reveals the real story of her life over the last five years. But it is Geri’s telling of her personal battle to overcome the eating disorders that have plagued her since childhood which really makes her book stand apart. There has never been a celebrity book like it when it comes to explaining the stark reality of weight obsession.
Just for the Record Reviews:
A very enjoyable read 
2009-10-01 - This second book by Geri Halliwell is just as entertaining as her first (If Only). It's not a sequel (there is a brief recap of some events from her first book) but you you don't have to read these in chronological order. It's packed with photos (some professional, some candid) and clips of her personal diaries. Geri continues to be brutally honest about her career, her eating disorders, fame and everything that makes up her life. This is a fantastic book for any fan looking to add to their collection.
Awesome Book - Very Honest
2008-06-14 - I have always been a fan of autobiographies and this book certainly delivers. I was thinking it might not be as good as all that. I mean come on, yes I was a fan of the spice girls, but so was every pre teen girl.
But I was surprised to find out actually quite a lot. Geri is very open about her battles with anorexia and her trials with the paparazzi.
She is also an amazing person having done work for the UN, speaking about birth control and also performing for the troops.
It was a smart move for her to write this book and also a very honest one as well. She has been through a lot and you see her struggle through it all. It is very inspiring to know what she has been through and it makes you realize that celebrity is not always as perfect as it seems.
Great Read
2008-05-02 - I read this book after reading her 1st auto-biography If Only and it is great! If only takes you up to when she left the band and Just for the Record takes you on her solo career.
This book really shows you who she is as a person. You see all sides of her and it made me like her all the more b/c you see how human she is. She shows you that all celebrities have their good an bad days like the rest of us. She gives you an insiders peak into a fun and sometimes not so fun world of celebrity.
Loved it!

2007-08-09 - I have to admit I only bought this book because the Spice Girls were getting back together and thought it would be cool. I'm not much of a reader but, this book kept me entertained, I read the whole book in one day, "If Only" should be read first but really it doesn't need to be, this book portrays even more in depth how and why Geri left the group when she did and she writes about her struggles with what she wanted to do after that decision, she also explaines her troubles with eating disorders and her passion for yoga, a great read, even if you aren't a fan!
Amazing read!
2003-05-01 - This book pics up right where If Only left off. This book is an excellent read, which holds your interest and it has amazing full page pictures of Geri. I would recommend reading If Only first because "just for the record" is a continuation of it. These books are great reads even if you aren't a fan of Geri's music because she has gone through so much in her life, and it is a very inspirational book with a positive message. This book is also a ,must have for any Geri fan. Even if you don't like to read, the pictures are amazing and there are many of them.
