Description
You are bidding on signed copy of Killer Queen - Images of Queen by Mick Rock from Genesis Publications.
Publication date: Winter 2003
Deluxe edition original price : £375.
Killer Queen has become highly collectible. Over 200 pages are master-printed on to 11 different paper stocks, including acetate, trace and 200gsm matt art stock. The images and text are printed in monochrome and full colour with image varnishing.
This lavishly-illustrated book is bound in full leather using both black and white goatskins carefully butted together.
This copy from the limited edition of 2,500 is housed in its own silkscreened buckram slipcase.
Trimmed page size: 340mm x 240mm. Number of pages: 212
This copy is unique in so much as it is not numbered but a preview press copy, signed by Mick Rock, Brian May and Roger Taylor. This is stamped on the inside as you can see from the image I've included.
The book is in excellent condition and will tantalise any Queen fan....!
Looking back, it is obvious that Mick was a master of his art very early on. The images in this book (including many we rejected at the time, sometimes for artistic reasons, sometimes for reasons of vanity!) stand up fresh and untarnished by time. His handling of keylight and shade, his figuring of faces, his awareness of sheer texture, are all superb. His pictures speak louder than words. Thank you, Mick Rock, for the excellence you achieved with us and for us. It was almost worth lying on the floor covered in Vaseline, having cold water thrown over us! - Brian May: On 30-Jul-07 at 11:30:03 BST, seller added the following information: Pay instantly with your debit or credit card through PayPal.
