With the new Sukita book coming out soon, I was wondering what a list of "collectible" Bowie books would look like. For example:

Moonage Daydream, Deluxe and Collector editions, Genesis Publications, 2003

Station to Station, Deluxe and Collector editions, Genesis Publications, 2010

Any Day Now, Limited Edition, Adelita, 2011

Speed of Life, Deluxe and Collector editions, Genesis Publications, 2012

What would others put on this list? Just curious.

I recall a French book a few years back which i believe was a limited edition of black/white photo's with Frenach text possibly STS era pictures.
It was on my wish list but i couldnt get it and have not seen nor heard of it since.
I cant remember anything else but i do recall it being highly desireable.
Does anyone know any more on this?

The pictures are nice - but a lot of them I'd seen before, and the aspect ratio is kinda weird. The text is in both English and French, so that takes up relatively much space as well. It's still a very nice book, so definately worth it if you can find it for a reasonable price.

Bowie Style
I just received a copy of Bowie Style and would put it on the list as it has a great selection of pictures including some art work.
