Original 2008 printing of Deluxe edition hardcover book, including signed photo print of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. This collectible volume on the scale of Taschen and other high-end coffee table books weighs in at over 25 lbs. Signed by Author Ethan Russell and numbered 25/35 artist copies (book) and 25/25 artist copies (photo print). The artist copies were a separate run for the author to use as personal copies for friends, family and industry professionals. The first 750 are presented as a Deluxe Edition, boxed in an impressive 16-3/4 x 19 x 5 clamshell case and containing a signed, limited hand-made gelatin silver print. Clamshell and portfolio are hand-made and edges are wrapped in beautiful red T-Saifu fabric imported from Japan. The cover of the clamshell and book cover are printed in 4-color process. The title on the spine of the clamshell and cover of the portfolio have a deep blind deboss. The interior of the portfolio has a die cut insert to hold and protect the photograph. Each book is signed and numbered by the author. The book tells the story in interviews, stories and photographs of the Rolling Stones 1969 Let It Bleed tour, culminating in the tragic concert at Altamont Speedway in December of 1969. The book has spent most of the last 18 years in storage. The clamshell is lightly worn on bottom edge (see picture), and the book is in excellent condition. Photo print is mint. I have had to reglue this twice in the last 18 years. I believe it was a defect in production as i have seen this issue with other copies for sale. Reglueing with standard glue lasted ten years the first time, and I just reglued it a second time. This is only an issue with the clamshell box, and does not pertain to the book, portfolio, or art print which are all exceptionally produced.
