Vernon Fitch's new Final Cut book.

[UsNotThem]

It's ridiculous the price of these books. The Comfortably Numb book would cost about £120 including shipping, which is extortionate.

What is the point of these limitations?

I don't know, ask him ... maybe production costs, maybe licencing costs

Alas, quality books and signed limited edition books do demand high prices and are more like works of art to treasure ... have a look at some of the Genesis Publications (not the band) and Taschen Books and you will see some of them are considerably higher, and that is for just the book !

Anyone who had ordered the Comfortably Numb-book (which, by the way, is still available from Vernon) received a note when the Final Cut-book was finished, offering the option to purchase the item. I guess that Vernon wanted to avoid producing a mass of copies due to financial and stocking reasons. Record labels run theirs businesses just the same these days. They offer limited edition-items on pre-order-conditions, which means that they won't need a warehouse to have space for spare copies. It had very much become an on-demand-business.

I bought two copies of Comfortably Numb and received no such notification as to the Final Cut book. *shrug*

Me neither, would have happily bought the book had I known.

I got an email about the book - it was sent by PFA and said that as I was a PFA subscriber I was being given the opportunity to buy multiple copies of the Final cut book if I wanted to

I wish he would make all these books available for purchase electronically, and keep the physical printed editions limited. I am not fond of artificial scarcity here, good info like this should be around for folks to enjoy.
