Death Of A Polaroid

[pingu]

man, I really want Mitch's book - I love his work. still waiting for someone's desire to sell it to sync up with my having disposable income, and vice versa

[RegionFreeKB]

Is Mitch Ikeda's book rare?

[starstruck]

forgive the momentary lack of instant knowledge - is the Mitch Ikeda book you all speak of the "Forever Delayed" one that came out in 2002? if so, got that one too, and it is excellent.

It is not easy to be found.

I think EIL bought the remaining copies of the limited signed edition.
Therefore, you may think if it is better to pay some 50 Pounds for a used copy of the softcover or double the price and get a new one of the signed edition.

In any case, as far as photobooks go, it is currently the best you can get (but then the only alternatives are Nicky one or the not yet published but already sold out Cummins one), also depicting Richard last made tattoes.

I can't remember what the question was, but absolutely yes.

It's a highly artistic self-portrait by Sean.

yes, it is. it's out of print now, to the person who was asking if it's rare, but there are usually a few copies floating around. the signed/special editions still go for high enough prices on eBay - they were in a presentation box and included photo prints, iirc?

Seanus the snowman, was a grumpy quiet soul,
with a silly hat and a PSP and two eyes made out of coal...

i all of a sudden feel rather guilty about getting it at the lower price.

I'm surprised that the FD book is hard to find. I bought mine about a year after it came out for a fiver in Virgin. They had loads left.

[The Gutless Wonder]

I got my Forever Delayed book in Waterstones.

[meganslastwords]

haven't seen the FD book anywhere lately, even ebay

[wireobsessed]

Yeh, much harder to get hold of now.

isn't it standard for them to end up in discounted bookstores, then pulped?

meanwhile, blimey the price of used copies is rather steep.

maybe scour second hand bookstores and the like, see if any turn up.
