Eric Clapton - An advanced copy of '24 Nights', the limited edition book published by Genesis in 1991, signed internally by Eric Clapton to a title page.

*Genesis Publications '24 Nights' documents Eric Clapton's 24 night performance at The Royal Albert Hall, London. The hard case includes: a book of Peter Blake's sketches, tipped-in memorabilia and photographs, with printed introductions by Eric Clapton and Peter Blake, additionally signed by both; a small book with essay by Derek Taylor; cd tracks from the 24 Nights performance at The Royal Albert Hall; a separate envelope with guitar picks and additional memorabilia.

This is an advance copy, unnumbered, that preceded the original limited edition run of 3500 copies.

**The David Costa Collection - advance copy given to David Costa of Wherefore Art? following the studio’s design work on the '24 Nights' project

David Costa: ‘Introduced to Brian Roylance and Genesis Publications via Gered Mankowitz and Derek Taylor in 1988, it was inevitable, with so much common ground, we’d begin to work together. We did, producing ten books for them over the next decade, from Blinds & Shutters to Hamburg Days, followed by both Genesis and Wherefore Art? teams merging to produce The Beatles Anthology book published in 2000. This particular ’24 Nights’ edition, unnumbered but signed, is an early copy of the entire boxed set, a pre-publication copy given to me by Brian before the numbered edition was released for sale.’
