The first 100 copies of Mr Rotten's Scrapbook sold within the first 24 hours! Pre-orders for the book are selling fast, but the good news is that the publishers are currently in discussion with the book's producers to try to get as many copies as possible ready by Christmas. This means they will be able to send out more copies than first thought from pre-orders, so make sure you get your orders in ASAP to avoid disappointment.
Not only that, John has agreed to use the names of everyone who pre-order's before Friday October 22nd to create a special collage page for inclusion in the book! If you have already ordered you are already guaranteed to be included (if you don't want your name included please let us know by October 22nd).
Remember, EVERY single copy of Mr Rotten's Scrapbook is personally hand-signed, and includes unique hand-doodled centre page artwork (not reproduction). Real, not fake. High quality, and hand-bound - just like Mr Rotten.
As well as countless photographs you've never seen before, (80% at last count - Mr Rotten and company have been raiding their archives!) buying the book also gives you a 1-in-7.5 chance of a live face-to-face webchat with the man himself via the Golden Ticket. Will you find one in your book...
Every copy of the full colour 250+ page book also includes a picture disc 12” vinyl featuring live 2009 PiL recordings and spoken-word outtakes from John including Mr Rotten's Nursery Rhymes. Yes, really.
Mr Rotten's Scrapbook is for life not just for Christmas. It isn't mass produced - it's not made in Taiwan. It's quality over quantity. Content over contempt. Mr Rotten's Scrapbook is far more than just a book.
This high-end piece of art is strictly limited to 750 copies worldwide (all numbered) and is available for pre-order NOW via the ConcertLive website. It is a genuine collectors item. There will be no giveaways or free copies distributed.
PS: Mr Rotten would like to point out that the reason he has a sore wrist at the moment is because he's been writing out captions and stories for the book and it's for absolutely no other reason, honest...
