Blinds & Shutters

Genesis Publications, 1990. Deluxe Limited Signed and Number 466/5000. Quarto, original black morocco and yellow buckram. Near Fine/No dust jacket issued; accompanied by silkscreen box. First Edition, numbered 466/5,000 limited run (please note this number is not the same as one depicted in accompanying photo from an identical copy).

This edition is signed by Keith Richards (The Rolling Stones), George Clapton, Adam Cooper, Sandy Lieberson, Anita Pallenberg, Derek Taylor, Bill Wyman, Peter Blake, Allen Jones, Terry Doran, Stash Klossowski, and Colin Self.

The edition typically came with 368pp. but this edition is missing all pages after 352 (16 missing pages), presumably due to a printing error. This error, along with the slight wear, has been reflected in the pricing. The book is in Near Fine condition, with the exception of a small area between the flyleaf and title page, where remnants of the publisher's adhesive suggest that these two pages were once firmly bound together.

Accompanied by the original handmade silkscreen box with a sliding blind revealing a photograph unique to each copy (this one is of a young Mick Jagger). This silkscreen box has damage to the bottom portion: there is some tearing to the upper left corner and to the lower left corner along with some very minor scuffing and edge-wear.

Due to the book's size and heft, international pricing must be arranged prior to purchase. Please inquire.

Referred to as "the most stupendous rock and roll picture book ever assembled' by USA Today. Over 600 photographs and 30,000 word text from 93 music icons that took nearly half a decade to compile. This is the First Printing in the First Printing binding, not the special anniversary binding released later. The First Printing was launched in celebration of 45 phenomenal years of publishing excellence by Genesis.
