Design bookseller Amuti 23 has five copies of New Order Untitled, Peter Saville's book of the band's 1989 US tour, for sale. It's a very rare item because, ahem, it was "delayed by Saville till [sic] the last week of the tour hence most copies being destroyed"...

The book features some of the most beautiful images created by Trevor Key for New Order (two shown above) as well as shots of the band on stage

 

 

Amuti 23 says it has five copies of the book which it describes as "Large unstapled Quarto. Unpaginated. Very tiny trace of wear to extremities." Yours for £100.

Not sure what the [sic] is for..... it can't be for the spelling? Is there some kind of in-joke about Saville always being late, or something?

Helvetica is too clumpy and heavy, spoils it for me.

What kind of news story is this, CR? Is it that Amuti is incredibly expensive? The book is available on ebay for £ 10-20. I bought a mint copy for £ 10.
