Our final gift guide this year is for three of our highly rare, deluxe editions for serious book collectors. Signed and highly limited, these editions push the limits of luxury, with premium features including exclusive prints and rare memorabilia.
How to Disappear
The deluxe edition of Colin Greenwood's How to Disappear is a singularly impressive art object. Expanding upon the original collection of 97 candid photographs from Radiohead's bassist, this edition includes a 32-page booklet of additional light photography and, most impressively, five high-quality black and white prints selected and signed by each member of Radiohead. The set is housed in a numbered protective clamshell case.
This is a phenomenal collector's item for fans of music and photography, and is a truly impressive addition to any fans of Radiohead - both as a work of art and an intimate insight into one of the most influential, genre-defying bands of all time.
At time of writing, 15 copies remain of the original 300-copy print run.
Scattershot
As the lyricist for Elton John, Bernie Taupin formed one half of one of the most successful partnerships in popular music. In this dazzling memoir, Bernie takes the reader from his East Midlands childhood into the heart of the 70s and 80s pop scene in a whirlwind of music and adventure.
The deluxe edition is a testament to the glitz and glamour of pop, housed in a luxurious clamshell case, and packed with prints and added extras, including an exclusive USB recording of Bernie reading a bonus chapter of the time he met Groucho Marx in 1972.
Limited to 100 copies, this truly unique edition is a stunning artefact for lovers of music history and collectors of rare books.
Ashes Victory
Unearthed from the shelves at Hachette UK, we were delighted to bring book collectors this very rare edition earlier this year. Originally published to mark the historic 2005 Ashes series win, Ashes Victory is a wonderful piece of cricketing history and is hand-signed by the entire winning team.
Packed with photographs and testimonials from the legendary series, Ashes Victory is a beautiful clothbound edition housed in a protective slipcase. This is a remarkable collector's item and a must-have for fans of cricket and its history.
30 copies are available of this extremely rare edition. Please note that, as this is a twenty-year-old book, there are some signs of wear on the edition, as outlined on the product page.
