en.artbooksonline.eu/art-24310
Besides a great painter Chuck Close was also a printmaker throughout his career. He experimented with various printing techniques such as Mezzotint, etching, woodcuts, linocuts, and silkscreens. A few years ago Close produced an artist book together with Steidl called the:
Scribble Book: Self-Portrait
Scribble Book is a self-portrait that emerges step-by-step out of the printing process, one plate and one color at a time. The viewer follows a series of nine individual plate prooFor Sale (volume 1) along with a corresponding series of nine progressive prooFor Sale (volume 2). By comparing the plate prooFor Sale against the progressives, the viewer may ascertain not only the effect as one color is added to another to create the final nine-color portrait, but also the compositional decisions and careful modifications made by the artist at each stage of the project. I ordered one from Amazon Germany for only € 20 not sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a nice artist book for those that are interested in Chuck Close and printmaking.
The following links provide some more information about the Scribble Book:
steidl.de/Books/Scribble-Book-Self-Portrait-Little-Steidl-0425464860.html?SID=ByEtlXd65e30 littlesteidl.de/chuck-close-self-portrait-trade-edition/
The Scribble Book is available over here for € 35
en.artbooksonline.eu/art-13177
And one available on Amazon France for only € 20
Amazon FR
This is the trade edition there is also a limited (100) signed version, which of course costs a lot more. To my understanding the trade edition is also limited, but the publisher doesn't mention how many where printed.
The “limited edition” vs. the “trade edition” There are two editions of the Scribble Book: a trade edition and a “limited edition”. In this case, we must clarify that both are limited and hand-bound editions. The intensive printing process that produced this work could not be repeated. And the accordion construction on this scale necessitates a hand binding process in any case.

Beause too much is too much, since aprile ( and we are all collectors you know that ) , we can still preorder this signed book for 25 quid. I am not enough fan fof Wei Wei and I like when there is a bit of raritie - not only for the value, but for the pleasure to get something rare - anyway he won't signed himself all ot them, but staff ) ...
This signed book does not mean nothing and is worst than a best seller !
* I can apply that for vinyls preorders: at the end - see the last 3D - , they are not so rare and everybody got them...
Editors are tricky and clever, ah ah ah.. but not us, consummers ( sorry to don't speak about Hirst NFT and his 113 pages , crazy innit ? )

I'd much rather have purchased the large signed print that was released last year for $500 or $700 than this signed book with small print for $2,000 (and I very much enjoy Ai Weiwei in general).
Doing a little digging, is Amazon being abused here by whoever listed them 'for sale.' I've never had an order canceled by Amazon before (I see that some people have). The listing page has been completely removed. It looks like someone was trying to 'move' copies of the 2019 Cahier's D'arte book, not a new 31 Aug 2021 released book.

I have one of these available which kftoms kindly got for me from the exhibition. Total cost to me was £33 with shipping. So looking for that plus shipping if anyone is interested. Still in plastic as haven’t got around to opening.

Probably many of you have read or have been read to these books by the great artist that was Dick Bruna! There is a nice big print by Bruna here at the Newport Beach Library, before the kids section! This is a 1966 edition (if I’m right) signed by the man himself to Vane Lindesay, another great artist from Australia that was Bruna’s scholar. Vane is now 100+ years old! So, is this the precrusor of Street-art ? Can we find some and have you a link ? Just joling , too much negativity you said ;-) ahahah ... Nice colors anyway !
