Mad Day Out by Stephen Goldblatt - 2010

This is a very small boxed set edition of 250. Mad Day Out is a profound pictorial document of the Beatles taken during the summer of 1968, containing rare and unseen photographs accompanied by a full length commentary by world renowned cinematographer Stephen Goldblatt. A stylishly designed volume of 110 pages master printed by Ben Zlotkin of Edition One in Berkeley, California. Also included is a limited edition archival print of the Beatles made by Stephen Goldblatt that has never been published before. All books and prints are signed and numbered. Hand bound and finished in white linen, the book is housed in a custom chocolate linen covered box, lined in paisley satin, with a hidden compartment to hold the print. Books are numbered 1 to 250 (this copy is 193) and signed for authentication by Stephen Goldblatt. Perfect for Beatles collectors and photography lovers. This book and print was created by special agreement with Mr. Goldblatt as a fundraiser for Fotovision.

The condition of this beautiful signed book and print set is near mint. This is a truly wonderful copy of this very rare title with virtually no flaws whatsoever. However, I will point out two very minor issues. There is a small raised bump under the linen of the box (small enough that it can't be photographed and was present when fist purchased). Also a tiny mark on the font cover next to the "M" in "Mad Day Out". This is hardly visible, see pic 7 for confirmation. There are no other visible flaws. The set is Near Mint.
