Last month, we told you about "Taken By Storm", a lavish new edition from specialist book and box set creators, Genesis Publications. A celebration of Storm Thorgerson's wonderful, evocative and engrossing work for the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, orders for the box set are now being taken. And, as expected, sales in the first week have been very brisk indeed!
Every "Taken By Storm" box [click thumbnail, right] will include an incredible set of rare and unique collector's items, fine art prints, sketches and objets d'arts accompanying a lavish 200-page book, signed and bound by hand in full leather especially for this limited edition. Only 500 copies will be made available worldwide, all signed by Storm himself, and each copy is truly unique. Thanks to our friends at Genesis, we can share a couple of exclusive images with you in our preview of this essential purchase...

The website for The City Wakes (the ten-day official Syd Barrett tribute held in Cambridge recently) had
a bookstore created for it, to help raise money for the event and the organisation behind it.
The same people who created The City Wakes bookstore have now kindly set up a store for us at Brain Damage. In effect, it's a nifty front-end to a professional online book retailer. With an inventory of over 1 million books, most at a good discount over the normal retail price, they have something for everyone, and each purchase helps contribute to the ever rising running costs of this website.
You can, of course, still purchase books through our Amazon links, as this also helps us greatly in keeping the site up and running. However, this new store gives you an alternative to Amazon and any other retailer you normally use... Visit braindamage.eclectorstores.com to see the site.

The album, released on his own new label, Cifi Records, gets its release on November 25th, and we've recently been taking a good, long listen to it...
