That's even cheaper than buying it from Blackwell's if you're in the UK (£66 ~$86)

I guess it comes down to where you are and what version you'd rather have. Also, whether or not you'd rather have a bookplate.

If you don't want the Deluxe version and are in the UK or Europe, buying the regular signed version from The Photographers' Gallery is cheaper. But the further from the UK you are, the less worth it the savings are for the Base edition. For example, if you're in London it's £7 for shipping.  Paris or Berlin you pay £17.45 for shipping for the standard version and U.S. addresses will pay £32 for shipping.

If you want the Deluxe Version with the additional content and the slipcase-then Blackwells is the cheaper option from either side of the pond.  They beat The Photographer's Gallery and most other outlets by at least £5 in the UK or $21 in the U.S.

If you're only after the autograph and the slipcase and additional 32 pages of content aren't a consideration-definitely go The Photographers' Gallery if you're east of the Atlantic.

Go to Premiere Collectibles if you are west of the Atlantic and you're OK with the bookplate for about $47 USD shipped before tax.  Go to Blackwell's  if you don't want the bookplate for $61.23.  

One thing I'm sure everyone can agree on is to avoid the "limited edition box set" scam from Premiere for $150.00. The only thing really limited about it I they take a regular book, create their own slipcase and put a limited edition number on the bookplates they had signed.   Limited editions created on the aftermarket aren't really worth a significant mark-up.

Premiere had just over 500 when I looked the other day. 499 now. I could be wrong but doubt these will even sell out unless they lower the price further

I think that has to do with the bookplate.  Most collectors don't want them and if you need/want to sell the book later-it doesn't bring as much and takes longer to move it
