It sounds like a bunch of nonsense.

"A gripping chronicle regarding the involvement of a mysterious French count in the greatest mystery in Rock 'n' Roll history - how did Jim Morrison actually die? Last Words, Last Words - Out. These were the final words written by rock icon Jim Morrison, less than 24 hours before he took his final breath in Paris. For the first time ever, we learn those words were written for Morrison's murderer. The chilling letters detail the events leading up to his death, the names of those plotting against him, and the major changes he intended to make in his life. Turn The Page provides a graphic, disturbing look at a life cut too short; with newly found insights offered from the "Lizard King" himself. For the first time ever, Jim Morrison reveals his true plans in Paris; and whether or not he was going to return to The Doors. Learn his true feelings for Pamela Courson, and other significant people in his life."

The notebook he carried around while in Paris did contain a poem scribble with the last word, out.  Not the exact quote.  I have it saved somewhere on my old computer when it was up for auction years ago.

This book looks like b.s.  Doesn't even sound like Jim, if he wrote it!
The future's uncertain
And the end is always near.

Is that the one you're referring to?

Of course you're right. Not sayin' that he did not have lousy company around him but the above is painting out quite a conspiracy theory about it "...the names of those plotting against him."

yes, I think that is it.  I saved the pictures of the notebook when it was up for auction, but like I said it's on my other computer and I don't really turn it on anymore, so I didn't check it. Am I incorrect?

It does not surprise me. There are enough books out there about Jim Morrison that are simply rubbish. Once in a while books that have a more serious approach and could be worth the read, come forward on this board. If you're looking for new Doors books to read then imo, The Doors: A Lifetime of Listening to Five Mean Years seems to be one of the better one's.
