Signed Limited Deluxe Edition: Rolling with the Stones Signed by Bill Wyman
This entry features an invaluable insider record of rock history: a Signed Limited Deluxe Edition of Rolling with the Stones, hand-signed by founding Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman. Published in 2002 by Dorling Kindersley (DK), this monumental, oversized volume stands as the definitive visual and documentary history of "The Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Band in the World," chronicling their meteoritic rise and decades at the forefront of popular music.
As the band’s meticulous archivist, Bill Wyman kept exhaustive diaries, letters, setlists, posters, ticket stubs, and rare photographs from his joining the group in 1962 through his departure thirty years later. Rolling with the Stones distills this unparalleled personal collection into a massive, day-by-day narrative filled with over 3,000 images—many previously unpublished. The book chronicles the Stones' musical evolution, legendary tours, studio sessions, and cultural impact with absolute historical precision.
Bound in striking red faux-crocodile leather with black spine lettering, this deluxe presentation is housed in the publisher’s custom photo-illustrated slipcase depicting vintage Rolling Stones memorabilia. Mounted to a preliminary leaf is an artfully designed bookplate styled after a classic 1969 David Byrd concert poster. On this bookplate, Bill Wyman has boldy signed his signature in black ink directly above the printed limitation line, which is hand-numbered 574 of a special edition limited to 1,400 copies. The volume is in pristine condition, showing a tight binding, crisp board corners, bright interior glossy pages, and a sturdy slipcase with vibrant graphics. Signed by the legendary Stones bassist and archivist, this hand-numbered deluxe edition is a cornerstone collectible for rock music historians and Rolling Stones aficionados.
