Our friends over at Genesis Publications have been in contact today with the news that their very special edition of Nick Mason's "Inside Out: A Personal History Of Pink Floyd", has now completely sold out! As we reported, most recently on 12th July, Genesis, the specialist book publishers, have collaborated with Nick Mason, producing a very special limited edition of his book. They have taken 500 of the First Edition of the book, re-bound them in leather, got them signed by Nick and included in a 'box of delights' designed and assembled by Storm Thorgerson, who will also sign this unique limited edition box set. Only 500 sets have been made, and they are currently being assembled and despatched. Over 100 have already been sent out to their lucky owners, and more will be despatched at the start of next week. They are working hard to ensure all the orders are despatched as soon as possible. The selling out of this edition has made the set an instant collectors item, with the odd copy no doubt appearing on eBay in years to come. The limited editions of books created by Genesis tend to rise dramatically in value - two separate copies of the deluxe edition of Mick Rock's Psychedelic Renegades (his picture archive of Syd Barrett), originally sold for £495, have been sold on eBay recently for around £2,400 each! Each strong presentation box is handmade in buckram to a design specification which securely holds in place all the fascinating elements of this unique collectors' edition. An image created by Storm Thorgerson is set into the front above a silver foiled logo. The spine lettering is also in silver foil. Here's what you'll find inside:
Pictures of the contents, along with full details, can be found at www.Genesis-Publications.com. Their site will be updated shortly to show that the set is completely sold out... |
