Description
This auction is for a LIMITED EDITION SIGNED 1ST EDITION HARD-BACK copy of Bruce Dickinson's autobiography "WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO?".
This copy is one of the few printed with the super cool black sprayed edges, which were only done on the UK's first print-run, so as a result these editions are now extremely rare and hard to find.
It is hand signed by Bruce to the title page (see picture 2) and is in brand new, unread condition.
I actually attended one of Bruce's "A Conversation with Bruce Dickinson" UK book tour appearances (I went to the The Lowry, Manchester date on Sunday 22nd October 2017 - see picture 8 of the view I had of the stage and his chair!!), which is where I obtained 2 signed books (hence selling this one) as these were included with the tickets to his appearance. And as this was in theory a spare book, that is why it is still in a brand new condition.
Bruce read from his autobiography at the appearance, talked about the experience of writing it and also answered questions from the audience. It was all really fascinating!!
Along with the book itself, also included is a bookmark (see pictures 5 & 6), as this was also given to me with the book. Just like the book, it too is in mint condition.
The book's specifications are as follows:
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
ISBN: 9780008172435
Number of pages: 384
Weight: 670 g
Dimensions: 240 x 159 x 35 mm
And here is a bit about the book and Bruce Dickinson himself:
One of the world's most storied musicians, Bruce has lived an extraordinary off-stage existence too. A true polymath, Bruce is, or has been, an airline pilot and captain, an aviation entrepreneur, a beer brewer, motivational speaker, film scriptwriter, twice-published novelist, radio presenter, TV actor and a world-class fencer.
Now, for the first time, Bruce tells his story in his own words. In WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO?, the hugely anticipated memoir from Iron Maiden frontman and rock legend Bruce Dickinson (a man who famously never gives interviews about his personal life), Bruce shares the most fascinating recollections, including his thirty years with Maiden, the early days, his childhood within the eccentric British school system, going solo, realising his dream of flying jumbo jets and his recent battle with tongue cancer. Bruce Dickinson is so much more than the frontman of one of the biggest bands on the planet. A rock icon, a true renaissance man, Bruce has been, and remains, a man of legend.
Bold, honest, intelligent and very entertaining, WHAT DOES THIS BUTTON DO? is the long-awaited window into the life, heart and mind of one of our most adventurous and multifaceted sons.
