Want

You might remember earlier this year, when I wrote about the hand bound photographic autobiography that Jimmy Page was publishing. Well, Genesis Publishing took their time with it, but it’s being shipped to the 2500 lucky few who had the $800 (or $1100 for the deluxe edition) to spend. I almost did it. You know how much I love Led Zeppelin.

Here is a video of Rick Barrett ( to whom I sold some rare Zep stuff about 20 years ago) opening his package from Genesis. Enjoy.

Well, Youdopia, the Jimmy Page book is $600. And that’s not for the Deluxe Edition ($1100 and it sold out in a day).
I admit that my desire is pure commodity fetishism, but I might get it. I know. I am not a chick. I don’t golf. I don’t collect stamps, or anything like that, and I haven’t bought any Zep stuff for… at least a decade. I’m talking collectibles, not CD’s and DVDs and stuff.

One thing I just noticed… Jimmy put the book on sale on the anniversary of Crowley writing the Book of the Law. Do with that what you will (shall be the whole of the law).

I was hoping he would put out a $93 edition.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy Page! Today is a National Holiday in Youdopia. None shall toil. Jimmy is 66 today. You may be surprised that I am a fan of Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Page. It’s true.  Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They release super high end, expensive books of superb quality. They cost a ton, but I don’t care. I am getting this book.

Jimmy follows the tradition of Ol’ 93/93 with this hand crafted publication. It’s funny, but the day I found out about this book, I literally had this book in the cart, ready to buy. Coincidence?
