For some reason I expected this was a sell out.Just noticed only 1034 names on the back of the book.That would leave quite a few copies left in the warehouse :shock: .

£360.00 at Genesis.

2000 is not a small number of books. it's not something every fan will want enough to spend that kind of money. some not put off by the price may have been put off by the reviews (unless the only negative ones are here on the forum, i haven't looked elsewhere). there are still copies of Station To Station which is less expensive and probably more interesting and while i expect SOL to sell out, i don't think it will be immediate.

Received some rather classy advertising literature for Sukita's Genesis book this AM (they'd actually sent me two separate copies - based on this I've a slight flicker of hope they might send me the actual book in error, well perhaps not)
Anyone else?

That's some hype, Hype. I've often received those glossies just for signing up as an interested party. I've never got a free $700 book out of it, though.

Aphex,the book to go for is "Moonage Daydream", The different types of paper, The text, the photographs and the layout make this the "must have" of this triptych of Genesis collectable.
I own the collector edition and hope to get hold of as deluxe one day
