Today saw the publication in the US, by Billboard Books, of "Christie's Rock & Pop Memorabilia" by Peter Doggett and Sarah Hodgson. The book was published by Pavilion Books in the UK a few months ago, and is a wonderful addition to anyone's collection. It is a large-format, full-colour hardback, running to 192 pages.
We are just putting the finishing touches to our review of this title, which will be online in the next few days. The book covers items by all artists that have been sold at auction, and includes some of the rarest items ever seen (and some astronomical prices, too!) shown in well-reproduced pictures. As an example, a colour poster for the legendary winter 1967 UK Hendrix/Floyd tour, signed by Jimi Hendrix himself! The book also provides a guide to buying genuine items, and how to spot rip-offs.
The book can be bought through all normal retailers, and also through our special links at Amazon.com, UK, France, and Germany.
