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.

Steve Jones poses alongside his fabulous new bike

Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones recently splurged on a customized Ducati Hypermotard S. According to Ducati, he bought the bike to "celebrate his return to the LA airwaves this fall."

If you missed Jones' last radio show ("Jonesy's Jukebox" on Indie 103.1, which he unfortunately had to fold when the station decided to turn Spanish-speaking only) he's in talks with other stations in LA, as well as Sirius, he told a reporter at this year's SXSW.

Jones told Ducati: "I've always admired Ducati from a distance but never found something that suits me. That all changed after that first ride on the Hypermotard. I knew I had to have her. All my mates are jealous -- and that suits me just fine!"

The Hypermotard S is a seriously stacked bike with advanced low friction technology which "takes the thrills and road holding to the highest level." More info here.
