Starring Alice Cooper - pictorial autobiography

[SickThings]

I’m sure there will be plenty of previously unseen photos but from the preview I’ve seen there a lots of well published photos , eg we get a full page blowup from the dragon town cd insert , a double page blow up of Kyler’s photo from paranormal of Alice putting his make up on and others . Do we need them again ?

I’m not convinced there’s enough to justify the price tag , and I did but Alice at 75 as soon as it was released

I believe the book is still a work in-progress. What the video and photos show appear to be digital mockups. I wouldn't put much stock in those as being representative of the final book.

At a concert one could get "autoghraped" cd's ... Would be suprised if Alice autographed each and every cd that was piling up there...

What a ridiculous thing to say.

Honestly I don't care about the pictures, especially for that price, I'm far more interested in the essays, but I'm guessing, based on the ack of attention given them by the publisher, that there isn't much to them

I would hope so though Kyler has posted he has seen the final product .

On. Aside note I just did a dummy order and they want £45 or just under AUD 100 for postage , that’s ridiculous and has definitely put it out of my price range

No, he didn't. He posted, "I've held the test pressing of this thing...." That is not the final product.

Have you looked at shipping prices anywhere these days? That's what it costs to ship something that large from the UK.

Paper prices have shot through the roof over the past few years, which increases the costs of books. Plus, they had to license photos for this book. You can't just download images from Facebook and print them in a book. Photos have to be licensed, and that usually costs money.

These prices are not outrageous for high-quality, limited edition books with lots of photos. They're high, yes, but they're typical for books of these types.

a book that size will be pretty hefty and the weight will hoof the prices up. customs will be rubbing their hands in glee when they get it too, i'd bet you could add another 3 figures easily for the duty/handling on a $700 item

Yes I realise postage is exxy and its quite a big book but for reference Alice @ 75 cost me $27AUD to post from the USA , this one is 4 times as expensive

[SickThings]

This is shipping from the UK, not the US. It also has twice the page count and is a physically larger book. The shipping price may be a little higher than if you had a friend send it to you, but it's not much higher.

Prices for the ‘Main’ autographed versions appear to be £200 and £600, so about $250 and $750 respectively (before postage) but with a 10% pre-order discount on offer.

If that's the price I'm not touching these with a barge pole. Ludicrous amount for a book. Not worth even considering for me.
I would have second thoughts at anything over £40-£50! and didn't buy the @75 book because I felt it was overpriced!

Out of my league I'm sorry to say, wife would kill me!

[NotSoPerfect]

Still does'nt look like a lot of us are buying this due to the cost and if we aren't then who would?

I've seen quite a lot of people in the fan Facebook groups making purchases.

I generally buy everything that gets released, but have settled for the 'cheap' one on this occasion. From conversations I've had with several other fans, none of them have gone for the Super Deluxe version. I may look at it again once I know exactly what you get for your money and if it gets reduced in a sale.

I did see one person on Facebook claim to order both versions though.

That is a book that I will never have. I'd be scared to touch it.
