Has anyone seen this? It’s a mere £975 from Genesis Publications. Available late 2023.
THE DELUXE COPIES
The Beach Boys by The Beach Boys is hand-signed by Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston.
Strictly limited to only 415 numbered copies, the Deluxe edition is quarter-bound in apple leather and sand Toile Ocean cloth. Woven from 100% recycled plastic gathered from oceans and coastlines, the cloth is characterised by its high durability. Portraits of the band members are inset into the cover. The binding is completed with coloured foil blocking, metallic blue page edging, and six colour page ribbons. The band's 400-page, large-format Deluxe edition is presented within a handcrafted, cloth-bound solander case, decoratively finished with screen-printing and foil embossing.
The password is SMILE, if anyone is thinking of ordering it. It’s not on the website yet, but preferred customers were sent an email about it.

My impression is that it's not a product aimed at us fans, but at premium book collectors instead. I'd love to see an affordable mass market edition come out, even if it's paperback.

Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what does £975 translate into U.S. dollars?

The price tag reminds me of > this < except I'm still not quite sure what we'd be getting with this book. (Not that I'm even remotely considering spending that kind of money!) Edit: Try this link: www.genesis-publications.com/book/9781905662845As carlove said, password is SMILE.

That's a hefty price for a book.

Maybe the book is cool, I don't know. But not being into collectibles, there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'd even think about it. A grand for novelties? No thanks. But if it were just done in a nice version (as opposed to a silly one), something like the Beatles Anthology book, I'd at least take a good look at it. But autographs, limited edition, "apple leather and sand Toile Ocean cloth," "metallic blue page edging" ... I could not care less.

I do collect signed autobiographies, but I can usually find them for just the cost of the book. So, in these cases, these were books I was going to buy and read anyway, and the signature is a nice bonus. So, I have signed copies of Brian's and Mike's recent books, and it cost a fraction of what they're charging for this luxury collectible.
