Elvis Costello - Boy Named If

https://shopuk.elviscostello.com/*/*/THE-BOY-NAMED-IF-CD-BOOK/77N80000000

It's not immediately obvious these are signed but if you read the description, "For those who like to hold something more substantial in their hands, the record can also be found tucked into an 88-page hardback storybook edition - each one numbered and signed by the artist."

Nice find! I was looking at the offers earlier in the US store. There the description is almost the same, but they did not add the line about it being numbered and signed. US would be cheaper for me, but I think I'll not risk buying it there while it not might come signed.

Thanks, ordered. Really like the artistic concept behind it too.

I am just wondering whether 'signed by the artist' means Eamon Singer - who appears to be the one who did the artwork in the book....

NME says signed https://www.nme.com/news/music/elvis-costello-the-imposters-announc... but maybe it’s worth an email to clarify

I noticed a lot of US sites have more or less the same text, probably from a press release. They all mention the book is signed, so I think it's safe to order from the US. I might send them a message anyway.

Yes, same obscured text on plaantzaak

I think that "the record can also be found" means: this is not the 88 page signed edition.

My understanding is that it's a limited little signed book with a CD inside. But the question is who will actually sign it.

There is also the Information: „Please note the book uses two images to showcase the illustrations this comes as one product“

I sent a message to the US site. They said if it doesn't mention it's signed, it isn't. Which is strange because various US websites mention it in the release info and the book seems to be signed in (all?) other countries.

Thanks for the heads up. I was hoping it would be stocked in the us store but haven't seen it yet.

The book is there, did you look in the correct store? I noticed he now has several stores in the US based on the different record labels. Here is the link. However they omitted the line about the book being numbered and signed which is what prompted me to send them a message. There is a chance the web team does not know the specifics and chose the safe answer. Because the book seems to be signed everywhere else.

I saw the book there but noticed there was no mention of it being signed and I'm interested in a signed copy but don't feel like paying the extra for UK to US shipping.
