Its in a locked cabinet, priced at £150. Its not signed.
I asked to take a look, looked a really great book. Its in really good condition, pretty much as new.
Details of where it is here - www.oxfam.org.uk/shops/oxfam-bookshop-shrewsbury/
As I am old, and rubbish on the computer, not sure whether they list it on a website they have?
Just wanted to post if someone looking for one of these.

Recommended Art Books, by larryforsyth on Jun 13, 2021 0:14:39 GMT 1, Preordered a new Harland Miller book (One Bar Electric) from Amazon today. Not out until early 2022 but it’s currently £14.99 for Hardcover of 200+ Pages.
“One Bar Electric Memoir will trace Miller’s adventures from his childhood in Yorkshire, to the Chelsea School of Art, then to New York and Berlin, ending with the recent years. As Duncan Minshull of BBC Radio 3, who produced the critically acclaimed radio series about Harland, notes, Harland’s story is like 'Withnail & I, crossed with Keith Waterhouse and The Beano'”
I find the story of how Harland’s pieces originate (and the story of the man himself) as interesting as his art. Should be a good read.

Recommended Art Books, by Ravnur 2020 on Jun 14, 2021 15:17:35 GMT 1, Hi All
Got this very interesting book by Arthur Jafa "A Series of Utterly Improbably, Yet Extraordinary Renditions". The more than 800 pages of material comprises of a lot of very interesting source and background material for Arthur Jafa's work.
The book is from a limited signed edition of 200 copies (not numbered) and bought from Serpentine Galleries. They have about 10 signed copies left. The price is 120 GBP for the signed edition and shipping is a bit hefty as it weighs around 8 kilos :-) There are also unsigned copies available.
shop.serpentinegalleries.org/collections/publication/products/coming-soon-arthur-jafa-a-series-of-utterly-improbable-yet-extraordinary-renditions
For those not too familiar with Arthur Jafa, he is an American cinematographer and artist who's work is mostly centered around identity and race. Arther Jafa was awarded the Golden Lion for best artist at the 2019 Venice Biennale for his film "The White Album".
Some of Jafa's work can be seen here: ubu.com/film/jafa.html
"The White Album" unofficial versions can be found online. Have not managed to find an official version online yet.
Cheers

If its any help, just e-mailed a contact I have at Phaidon's, they helped me out with the Miller book a while ago, hoping they can confirm. Will update the thread when I hear back. If its any help, just had a reply from Phaidon's with regards to the signed KAWS book - Kaws is being published on 24th June and will be sent to you on, or around, this date.
If its any help, just been advised on a slight delay on the KAWS books -
Due to the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing issues with international shipping channels, the books are taking longer to arrive at our warehouses than initially planned.
Orders will now start to ship from July 8th. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive tracking details.

Yeah, I don't understand how they have such difficulty getting the correct inventory. They're either technically inept or they need to switch e-commerce platforms.

Only trust the musuem catalogs... And it's not because it's books that we have to trust them eyes closed.
I have big problems at the moment with Paper Cavalier ( selling on Amazon too ), kind of reseller, cheaters and lyers, selling mostly on Abebooks ...
I’m really not happy about Amazon and it’s seller Paper Cavalier France ( you have one in UK too ) : they are scammers, I ve never received the the BasT revolucion of Papel, ( ordered for 60 € in the beginning of may ) , they are tricky, they kept it - no tracking number and a shipping at 2,50 euros from the USA lol - and they are saying that the shipping will be with DHL DHL for 2,50 with no tracking ?!! )..
They known that they will sell now at 150 € and more ! And they leave same books just for the clicks and to go on there ( As Fnac does )... They proposed me to reimburse me of course, but I want the book ! They are cheaters, booksellers are full of scammers !

I got some months ago some Invader books through their stores... quite good prices... books never arrived or you get an email saying there was a stock error. You get the refund from Amazon but you'll never know where your money initially has gone or if disappeared with the Amazon store that sold it to you. ALWAYS buy with Amazon, Ebay, Paypal. As buyer you are always protected. Thank you @dmatt
The problem is that i Want the book, only the book. Very frustrating, indeed...

Recommended Art Books, by Schrödinger's Chat on Jun 20, 2021 17:28:34 GMT 1, Thank you for the recommendation, @ekap what a terrific book!!
If you enjoyed that, you may also enjoy Pigspurts Daughter by Daisy Eris Campbell (daughter of the late Ken Campbell), she is a good friend of John Higgs, and this was a stage show she did. It's a sort of weird hyper reality blending the real life events of the KLF launch of the funeral business with a surreal story about her late Dad. Lots of references to discordia, illuminatus Trilogy, no. 23 etc.
I don't know if Daisy still performs the show but it was a joy to watch and very funny. www.hilaritaspress.com/portfolio-item/pigspurts-daughter/
Actually Pigspurt by Ken Campbell is very funny, if I remember correctly he realises that his nose looks like the bum of a beautiful woman and then spends his life trying to find the woman who's bum matches his nose, only to one day catch sight of his own backside in the mirror and realise it is his posterior that his nose matches. But I might have misremembered some of that.
