Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page could probably ramble on for days with a whole lotta stories about the band's rise and fall. At least some of those tales will no doubt appear in his new photographic autobiography which NME.com reports will be released on Sept. 27. The book will contain more than 500 pages and 650 images, spanning Page's legendary career.
Page will personally autograph each book in the limited series of just 2,500 copies. Books usually don't come with a catch but this one does, in the form of its price tag. The book will cost £445. -- or, roughly, $688. -- before shipping and handling fees. Guess all that officially makes it the collector's edition. "I appreciate fine bookbinding," Page states on the publisher's website. And, indeed, the 'Jimmy Page' book (which is self-titled, by the way) will be quarter bound in morocco leather with unique perspex font and back boards and printed on 170gsm fine art paper.
For fans that don't want to drop that kind of money on their coffee table... maybe next time you'll buy those cupcakes from your local library's bake sale.
