Every Picture Tells a Story.  Wood on Canvas [Deluxe Edition]

UK: Genesis Publications, 1998. Limited DELUXE First Edition. Full Leather. Fine - As New/No Jacket as Issued. This is a very scarce and handsome set, a Limited Numbered Deluxe Edition, signed by Ronnie Wood, acclaimed artist and former member of the Rolling Stones rock group, on the limitation page and numbered 2448 out of 2500 Limited Edition copies. Don't be put off by the number; usually Genesis Deluxe editions are of 300 or 350 in number and are numbered at the beginning of the edition, from 1-350, for example. However, this Deluxe edition is the exception. Parrish Books contacted Genesis Publications and here is David Williams' gracious explanation: "Wood On Canvas" originally was just going to be one edition of 2500 books in total. At the last minute, the author asked the publisher to make up 100 Deluxe copies which he agreed to do, using the last 100 copy numbers in the edition [with] Full leather binding, slightly different slipcase and an additional gold copy of the CD. The prints were supplied by Ronnie Wood from a collection that he was selling separately. The Roman numeral for number 48 corresponds to the last 2 digits of the books copy number." Parrish Books thanks Genesis for their explanation of the mystery. As promised, the book is bound in fine full black leather with orange titling, enclosed in a matching black slipcase. To complete the package as Mr. Williams mentioned, the set includes two copies of the CD -- one with the regular disk label, and a second gold CD with the following on the label: "Gold Edition CD - limited to 100 copies only." And of course there is the separate Deluxe print titled "Keith [Richards] + Chantall (?)", signed by Ronnie Wood and numbered in Roman numerals "XLVIII/CCXLV," (48/245).. All in all, a scarce and beautiful set.
