A signed deluxe-edition copy of Forever Delayed: Photographs of the Manic Street Preachers by Mitch Ikeda.  Ikeda met and began photographing the band on their first Japanese tour, and the 240 pages here chronicle his work over a decade shooting the group.  An introduction by Jon Savage and art direction by the band’s album cover designer Mark Farrow complement Ikeda’s work beautifully.

This is copy 295 of  800 produced in a limited edition, hand signed by Nicky Wire, James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore.  Bound in an embossed gold binding, the limited edition includes an 8″ x 10″ photograph of the band by Ikeda and a 27″ x 38″ silkscreened poster, in an embossed gold slipcase.  Other than some minor impressions to the back of the slipcase, everything is in mint condition.  A superb collectible for any Manics fan.
