both those copies gone by now, but there are other sellers offering what appears to be the same item (except that these sellers display two different pictures):

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/P-J-HARVEY-bo ... 8269291028" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/P-J-HARVEY-bo ... 3831543659" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

the plurality of the offerings on eBay would seem to suggest that this book could very well be available in plenty more copies than these, maybe through some official outlets. so I began searching by taking a look at amazon's UK site, but this book isn't listed there. however there is another book that seems interesting:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PJ-Harvey/dp/61 ... 782&sr=1-3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

edit:
perhaps not so interesting after all, as the content appears to be a collection of various wikipedia articles (at least this can be inferred from what the label says, on the front cover).

but there's another book on P J Harvey, by an Italian author:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/P-Harvey-Musich ... 901&sr=1-4" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's the same seller offering them on Ebay So don't panic better to ask seller to offer one for a set price.

me too but with the number of sales / books it.s a bit confusing?

the items have been re-listed - so it appears there are now three active sales for 4 books!!

they seem to differ in as much as the one that has 1 bid is larger size with covers done saddle-stitch (magazine style)magazine size with 32 pages & the others are smaller but with 40 pages - the plot thickens :eyeroll:

also i have been in contact with the seller, she has other copies of both sizes available, if anyone else here is really interested in buying one or more of these she says i could approach & see if we can buy them as a group at a better price??

might be worth a try - pm me if anyone is interested

Mine arrived today - thanks, wickedtongue!

All images are black and white. I have the small copy. Not much variation in the images; mostly of Polly close-up and 3/4 length shot.
Only one of Rob and Steve - Rob slightly obscured by cymbal. Rob appears in one more with Polly; again, slightly obscured.

Has a print of the gig list as well as the setlist.
Wiggins is so superbly unassuming, he looks like he's about to say 'Pop the gold medal in the post, I'm nipping out for some biscuits'

yep mine yet arrived today too, i went for the larger colour one & must say i'm a tadd disappointed @ £30!!!

it looks like something i could "knock-up" at work with a laser printer, i've not checked if all the images are in general circulation from this show yet though so i might be doing the producers a disservice ....hang on, i've just found the producer of the book on-line & i could have bought it direct for @ £15 FFS i've just been stung :evil:

and what exactly is "saddle-stitch (magazine style)" .......... it's just stapled booklet!!


what a knob i am :eyeroll:
