Johnny Rotten Creates Luxury Book For Sex Pistols Fans

Filed under: Art, Books

Johnny Lydon better known as Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols is the latest rock star to create a luxury coffee table book (see also Jimmy Page). Just 750 copies of the 250-plus-page coffee table book, Mr Rotten's Scrapbook, are to be published. The book has a 12-inch vinyl picture disc built into the back of the book that has live recordings from his band Public Image Ltd (PiL) taken from shows last year, as well as spoken word tracks. The book also includes personal photos, much of which have never been published. The book has X-rays of his skull on the cover and costs £379 when pre-ordered but will retail for £449 when it officially goes on sale December 1. 100 of the 750 books will contain a special golden ticket that gives the bearer the opportunity to have a one on one chat with the man himself, a 10 minute webcam chat, face to face, to ask anything you like! The first 50 orders have guaranteed 1-50 numbering and the first 100 orders are guaranteed delivery before Christmas.
