Thought this might be of interest to someone who can afford it...the book is on sale for $150...down from it's original $650 asking price (Surprise!)

[www.insound.com]

Dam only ships to Usa and Canada

just ordered....

I pity the fools who ponied up the $650 when the book first came out, only to see the price shrink to less than 25% of that.



ER really knows how to treat his fans. Soak 'em down and kick 'em aside.

Why would anyone pay $650 for this... Even $150 is over my budget...

Apparently it's Insound that decided to liquidate the copies they had instore.
On ER's site it's at 325$ (a 50% discount).

Anyway you had to be mad to shell out 650 units for a book printed at 1850 copies. 185 copies yes but at 1850 it was a no-no.

11 (!?) years ago I was writing this :

"If you look at the bare facts (650 units for an edition of 2600 copies) and think about how the photo-book business works in general you quickly realize this one is a giant rip-off : there is just no way a "limited" edition of 2600 copies of a title will be worth one day the asked retail price.

In the "art-book" world 650$ is a common price... for a book that comes with an original silver print signed by the artist. I shall add this special editions are numbered to an amount of (don't fall off your chair) 25 to 50 copies.

The bottom line behind this is :
- buy the luxury edition at 950 sth $. This one will be valuable.
- re the regular 650$ edition you're being asked NOW the price this book MIGHT reach in 30 years if the Stones are not forgotten by this time. In other words a giant rip-off. Unless it is offered at 25% of the limited edition that is roughly 120 bucks".

120, 150 bucks my assessment was pretty good.
Don't thank me, I had warned you against an unsafe investment!

so, $120.00 for the book and $30.00 for UPS = $150.00

Mine is shipped to Canada , but it's 137$ of taxes !!!
Beware the taxes are calculated on the full price (650$), so you have to pay,if you are not in the US.

I got #1449 out of 2600.
What a hefty tome. Very nice quality.Brian Jones is featured at the beginning. A lot of photos never seen before. Haven't made a dent in looking at it yet.I'm going to have put it in my glass cabinet for safe keeping. Thx again for the heads up. A very troubled year with Nixon and Vietnam raging on. Stones in USA next year?
