Patti Smith Songbook

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT! THE PERFECT COVER. WE FEATURE PATTI SMITH A LOT

IN THESE SUPERBOOK

MAILS BUT, HONESTLY, HOW COULD YOU NOT? HAND-

TINTED SUPERSONGBOOK.

LIKE MATISSE PAINTED THAT BANDANA HIMSELF.



The best looking book we have seen for a long time. Published in London in 1979 - aka - The Best Year Ever. One day we will make a book of that year and it will have this cover on the cover. Even the 'h' of Smith going over the edge is special. We have looked at a lot of books and, well, this one... wow. The photo is by Lynn Goldsmith - 
see it here - pretty sure the leopard print bandana wasn't green. 
 


Art direction in all directions. 
 


Seriously great songs too:
Because The Night, Gloria, Ask The Angels, Free Money...
 


Can't read music? No problem. This book comes with words included.
 


Words and pictures. 
 


And typography. 
 


Back cover lover. Fashionistas may know what post-punk piece that bondage clamp belongs to. We just know that we like it :)

Only one of these. It is another impossibly good book / impossible find. But one in amazing condition is AVAILABLE on the button below.
