Description and write up from V&A website:
The DAVID BOWIE IS Collector’s Special Edition is a unique memento of the V&A’s retrospective of the extraordinary career of David Bowie, one of the most pioneering and influential performers of modern times. Produced with unprecedented access to the David Bowie Archive – of performance costume, ephemera and original artwork by the artist – this spectacular book presents a completely new perspective on Bowie’s creative work and collaborations.
There are only 500 copies of the Collector’s Special Edition. Each hand-finished book is numbered individually and is placed in a neon-orange acrylic slipcase with laser-cut detailing. A four-page insert with a previously unseen drawing for the 1980 Floor Show and a reproduction of the original draft lyrics to ‘Heroes’ is bound into each one. Another captioned page features David Bowie’s signature.
The cloth-bound book also has three ribbon bookmark, foiled page edges and is printed on a heavy weight Italian-made paper. Each book is stamped on the endpapers and hand-numbered to guarantee authenticity.
The Collector’s Special Edition of DAVID BOWIE IS has been produced by V&A Publishing in collaboration with Barnbrook, one of Britain’s leading graphic design studios.
