Damien Hirst at Institute of Contemporary Art ( ICA ) in London - December 1991 to February 1992 Edition is 2,000 ( 250 signed Hard backs and 1,750 of the soft back )
DH's big painting studio is across the river from where I live, think I should pop bye one day, have it signed and frame it! :-)

Btw: The Eddie Martinez book ( More drawings ) which was recommended here a few pages ago is really good! Thanks again! Also, I am happy that the Vlad is not spamming around in this precious little thread.
Liking a good signed book myself kfroms, care to share some on this thread? Would be great to see.
My latest was a lucky find in a local Charity Shop -
Big Riley fan, and was right chuffed.
Any more examples would be appreciated here.

Iโm starting to feel like Iโm being a little too showy, so Iโll stop until someone else posts some! The signed BR book was a great pick up mate.

This is up there as one of my most treasured possessions. If the house was burning down, I'd for sure be trying to take it with me.
In 2003, Steadman turned his talent to one of the most important books ever written and illustrated a gorgeous 50th anniversary edition of Fahrenheit 451 โ Ray Bradburyโs celebrated dystopian novel, titled after โthe temperature at which book paper catches fire and burnsโ and originally published when Bradbury was only thirty-three. Exactly 451 copies were printed, each signed by both Steadman and Bradbury.
In addition to this, was this very special deluxe limited edition of just 52 lettered copies, this specially bound edition is hand marbled with the ash from burned books, signed by Bradbury and Steadman in a clamshell box, and with an additional folder containing a silkscreen print, titled "The Hound," signed and numbered by Steadman.

Curious how much you paid for the Riley book? Must of been a lot less than what itโs worth. What a find!

I bought the Wall book inscribed and signed for my youngest a couple of years ago.
But that pails into insignificance compared to your beauty.

But that pails into insignificance compared to your beauty. Cheers Coach, and yeah, as good as it gets for me, Dystopic Sci Fi, Steadman, the politics of Book burning and the dopamine kick of collecting an limited object of desire. Great little film too of course.
My turn to steal your "Iโm starting to feel like Iโm being a little too showy, so Iโll stop until someone else posts some!" :-)

Will pick some of my favourite signed ones tomorrow
