Whole Lotta Ca$h : Jimmy Page Book To Come Out Next Month

Jimmy Page is to release his first ever published book on September 27th through Genesis Publications.

Genesis Publications and Jimmy Page have spent two years together sifting through thousands of photographs to produce a final and definitive edit that includes a mixture of iconic portraits, rare and unseen images and photographs from Jimmy's own archive.

This large format book is over 500 pages and reproduces more than 650 photographs and illustrations, making it the biggest limited edition that Genesis has produced to date. It is fine-screen printed and image varnished on to heavyweight art paper (size: 280mm x 330mm).

The limited edition books are hand-bound in morocco leather and laser-cut Perspex. The translucent front and back boards are screen-printed with two of Jimmy's favorite portraits.

Jimmy Page: "I've really got a lot of time for the way Genesis produce their books, they're really quality items. As someone who's always been interested in having a library themselves, I appreciate fine bookbinding and their whole ethic of what they do and what they're trying to do with a whole catalogue of books."

The book is limited to 2500 copies worldwide and each numbered book is individually numbered and signed by Jimmy Page.

You can pre-order your copy at this location.

At a price tag of At £445, ($691 in U.S. Dollars), unless we get a review copy (Yeah right), we think we'll be waiting for the cheap paperback version.

You'll be waiting a long time, Genesis don't do second printings or softback editions.
