Blek Le Rat Show, by spirit on May 8, 2008 16:07:12 GMT 1, Hi. I run ICETWICE Gallery & BookStore. I'd just like to clarify. We do have some copies of the Blek le Rat Limited Edition with Print left. We are, since this morning, adding people who express interest to a list. We will review the open market price at the end of the current Blek show, and then we will faithfully ring everyone back with a fair price. I have no intention of being unfair to anyone, but that includes myself. This feeding frenzy was caused by someone posting my number and details on this site without my knowledge. Since then the phone has been going crazy. Also, when 150 of the edition of 250 are in the hands of one retailer (not me) it does make for a rather confusing situation.  Kim , ICETWICE Gallery & BookStore 01234 714499
As a bookstore (and therefore a primary source) why not sell them at the RRP of ยฃ195? as opposed to trying to get secondary market prices for them?

These books are being treated like pieces of art - maybe because there is a print inside?
Alsbabar - I believe he has them in store (I rang earlier).
Anyone going today? Please buy me a copy of the Limited Edition book with print and I'll gladly Paypal over ยฃ200 plus fees.
Please.

Tel: 02074399921
It says they have a medium level of stock available.
I don't know why Thames & Hudson are telling retailers that it hasn't been published yet when it obviously has!

Blek Le Rat Show, by Matt-lock on May 8, 2008 18:53:21 GMT 1, I completely disagree with someone who sets a price for an item then retracts their initial statement because someone on the boards chose to give you some business by putting your information out there (and you complain about it)...are you kidding me??? And...
I have no intention of being unfair to anyone, but that includes myself.
Wouldn't "being unfair to anyone" include marking them at a higher price than you already stated? How is making the regular amount of profit as other places selling the book have done unfair to you?
Sorry...bad morning...rant over. Good luck to you and your open market priced books.

Blek Le Rat Show, by rosstierney on May 8, 2008 19:01:17 GMT 1, they've obviously bought them direct from the publisher so there's already profit in the ยฃ195
icetwice should never have made their post, instead kept quiet & put them up for auction, if post blek show price is what they're after
and don't give me "don't bash them because they're giving us priority"
this is just wrong & if the publisher found out, i doubt they'd be happy

Blek Le Rat Show, by snakes on May 8, 2008 19:14:49 GMT 1, ยฃ195 is a lot of money by my standards for a book even if it does come with a Blek print, edition of 250. Or is it ยฃ195 for Blek print with free book and a box?
Wait a while and they will be on good ol'trusty ebay for a few quid less - just like most of the other blek prints (apart from that really nice one - last tango in Paris)..

yes but it's not in stock, retailers like this order them direct from the publisher for you
if you pay for it now, be prepared for a refund because as i said earlier, thames & hudson are telling retailers it hasn't been published yet when it obviously has?
worth a try though

Blek Le Rat Show, by reados on May 8, 2008 19:55:25 GMT 1, i refuse to beleive that the one selling for ยฃ195 is not the ltd edition one with the print, why would anyone pay an extra 180 odd pounds for a hard back version
www.thamesandhudson.com/en/1/gentitle.mxs?9d43de513f5347f0cd6307b822d8dadf&0&0&9780500514122
check your buying the right ISBN no. the description for this book is as a ltd edition with print
ISBN 0500514127
ISBN-13 978-0500514122
the above are the ISBN for the ltd edition version

Blek Le Rat Show, by graffoto on May 8, 2008 22:01:32 GMT 1, yes - the boxed hardback at ยฃ195 comes with print and is limited to 250 copies
the paperback has no box and no print and is ยฃ12
There is no hardback without print.
This info comes from the inside cover of the paperback
BRP had 50 limited editions - any that weren't bought tonight (unlikely) on the night be the first 50 people will go on the web.
it's pretty expensive for a 10" square print edition of 250 when you compare to prints on sale at show. but you do get a free book..... and it's a rat

Blek Le Rat Show, by jaimesl on May 8, 2008 22:23:55 GMT 1, I got the book tonight and think it's a steal at ยฃ200.
The print is great, perfectly sized and well done.
It's a classic Blek image that will stand the test of time.
Regardless of your view of Blek and the complexity of his work... if you're into stencil art, you should get the book. If you're going to get the book, you should get the hard copy because the print makes it a no brainer.
It's not a flipper delight, it's something that has a little gravitas and history.
I'm really chuffed. If others have a differnt view, then cool. But for me, it really is worth a couple of hundred quid.
