It’s a lovely, sumptuous edition from one of my all-time favourite artists.

Here is my copy:

Interesting.  Does anyone have more information on this one?  Is this a new re-release? Or part of the original 1500 copies 1st edition?

Has this been on sale since 2012?

thanks to anyone with more info!

It's just Indigo's site -- they list all titles in their system, even if it was only released years ago or is long since out of stock.

Are you just making this up for fun? I ordered one last week and it came in…

The signed edition hasn’t been reprinted, so you must have gotten lucky in ordering an old copy from 2012 that was somehow still in stock.  Given the price, it’s possible they have a few left.  Either that, or it’s a recent warehouse find that was re-listed.

Yes, I ended up picking one up now… just wondering how / why they’ve lasted this long.

Just the price.  It is an expensive book, which automatically separates the men from the boys, so to speak.  The quality of the paper, the binding, and the cover blocking is superb, though.  It’s a lovely edition.  I just wish his signature was nicer, but that’s Neil for you.

I have an earlier example of his signature, from 1992, which I much prefer to the one in my copy of Waging Heavy Peace:

My friend bought one of these back when they came out in 2012. He told me I should get one, but...a bit pricey for me. Although, he's worth it.
