New deluxe photo book

Post by Saint&Sinner » Thu Dec 12, 2024 3:24 pm

Hi all, My deluxe photo book "thing" turned up today.
It is a glossy, hardbound book with some really nice images, some interesting stage notes (lighting/fx notes etc), hand written lyrics and a few other nice bits and pieces.
It focuses on the stage side of things and promotional images more than anything and for me there isn't enough "behind the scenes" images (studio shots etc) but im really happy with it.
Was it worth the cost (which tbh was so long ago i forget how much it was) maybe not, maybe others could offer their input?
Definitely interesting and some great shots but maybe just not in the area i would have enjoyed more.

Bit of a kick in the teeth for those who paid full price two years ago(?) when many are still waiting for theirs to arrive?

Discounting the book when it's only just come out is BS, sounds like they're just trying to recoup costs now.

Shocking way to treat people who stumped up the pre-order money over a year ago. If you ordered both books then you will have spent nearly £200 more than someone who just rocked up today.

I just got the "cheapest" version in a superfast way. Ordered with Christmas and within 10 days at my town (Netherlands).
I had great expectations and maybe too big but for me it's a disappointment.
There are two things I really don't like:
- the pages are NOT glossy and this makes the pictures some times dark and the colors don't benefit either. For a book of that price I expect the best quality paper.
- way too little info on the pictures etc.

I know this is very personal but I'm so disappointed I consider it to sell.
I live in the Netherlands if there is a interested party.

I imagine this will be a regular occurrence as simply can't imagine they've sold many of the 500 Super Deluxe ones.

25% is the best we've seen so far, but I reckon even better deals will become available in the future.
