I've been considering this for a few months now. Does anyone here have one? It was a bit more than I was hoping to pay for him (around $100 US). Especially as he did 10k of them. Is the book worth it? It looked to be a signed bookplate?

In terms of value, sure. It's worth it, considering...it won't go down in value. I don't think it will ever be worth a heck of a lot. Also, something to consider. He stopped signing Sex Pistols stuff A LONG time ago (my friend tried getting him about 13 years ago, and he said "I don't sign Pistols stuff, mate." Luckily, he had a PiL piece that John signed for him, though.

I'd be wary once one reads the smalll print from the company selling them.

I may just cave and get him. I hate who he's turned into lately but he's one of those people I wanted since I was a teenager many years ago, and I'll probably never get him any other way.

I don’t like the number system. They intent to print 10k but the first run will be numbered “1 of 5000”.

Pretty misleading when these hit the secondary market.

What I make from that is they are not sure if their going to sell 10k, so they only print 5k at first. If they never print the second run they can claim it’s a limited edition of 5k, but if they do print the 10k the numbering is weird.

Good point. These have been out for a while now. I think preorders started back in October, and I've seen them on eBay since early this year. Haven't seen one numbered over 2800 yet. Printing 10k from the start may have been too risky.

So I bought this book 2 years ago, and have had an email today thanking me for my order for a £100 John Lydon signed print, it will be dispatched soon. I didn't know there was a signed print for sale and definitely didn't order one.

Has anyone else had this email when they didn't order a print?
