As discussed at this blog entry, Curvebender Publishing’s deluxe, limited edition book, Kaleidoscope Eyes: A Day in the Life of Sgt. Pepper, is out. Everything Curvebender does is unique and classy, even their e-mail, so I’ll share what I received from them today.
Dear Curvebender customer,
We are pleased to announce that our newest title, Kaleidoscope Eyes: A Day in the Life of Sgt. Pepper, is in stock and ready for immediate shipping. You may have received a pre-order brochure for this book in the mail several months ago, but if not, please read on (we also have a limited remainder of the brochures in stock, and if you would like to receive one, please reply to this email with your mailing address).
Kaleidoscope Eyes [official release]
As a followup to Recording The Beatles, we are pleased to announce the publication of our newest title: Kaleidoscope Eyes: A Day In The Life Of Sgt. Pepper. Photographer Henry Grossman spent an evening in the recording studio with the Beatles in February 1967. Only a handful of the more than 250 black and white images he captured that night have ever been published. In an exclusive partnership with Mr. Grossman, Curvebender proudly presents his entire collection of black and white Beatles studio photographs in the form of Kaleidoscope Eyes. Housed in a deluxe limited edition volume, the photos are presented in chronological order, allowing the evening to unfold for the reader just as it did for Henry. The result is a stunning photographic essay, an intimate fly-on-the-wall view of the Beatles at work. It is the first of several upcoming volumes showcasing Mr. Grossman’s remarkable body of work.
Strictly limited to 1,967 hand-numbered books, each copy of Kaleidoscope Eyes is hand-signed by Henry Grossman and accompanied by four prints and a contact sheet reproduction. No expense has been spared in creating a true piece of book-art, from the design and presentation, to the choice of materials and packaging. It will undoubtedly be a one-of-a-kind addition to any Beatles fan’s library.
We invite you to visit our website to learn more about this unique title. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Best wishes, from everyone at Curvebender Publishing.
I don’t know. Given the cost and the economy right now, I’d be surprised if they’ve sold 1000 copies, but I hope they have. Check over here where others who bought the book have posted some comments.
Before I buy a second copy ;at what number are we up to? I have number 237 I think.
