“He’s a very naughty boy! Now, go away! He’s not coming out!”
David Bowie at the Beverly Hills Hotel in October 1972, from Moonage Daydream.
The solid book we wrote can not be found today… (Well, only just)
Genesis Publications have been in touch with news regarding the absurdly beautiful Moonage Daydream object d’art…well, book just seems such an inadequate word for this thing.
Anyway, it’s no surprise that, despite the high price, Moonage Daydream is very nearly sold out now. Here’s the statement from Genesis…

MOONAGE DAYDREAM by DAVID BOWIE & MICK ROCK: 1ST JULY 2008
The original, signed limited edition book Moonage Daydream is now nearly sold out. Only 2,500 copies of the book were ever made by Genesis Publications, each signed by David Bowie and photographer Mick Rock, and the publishers report that fewer than 50 now remain.
Featuring the legendary photography of Mick Rock in a handmade, leather-bound volume that The Washington Post described as ?a masterpiece?, Genesis expect to declare the edition as ?sold out? imminently. This is therefore a last chance for Bowie fans to grab this incredible piece of Ziggy memorabilia.
If you have seen the mass-market version of this book, the limited edition is something entirely different. The signed and numbered original is not only bigger, it is finely printed on 14 different art papers, edged in silver foil, and bound by hand in leather and cloth. An incredible portrait of Ziggy is silk-screened and gold-blocked on the cover, and each copy comes in a box covered in a faithful recreation of the fabric David Bowie wore on the cover of the Ziggy Stardust LP. As GQ magazine wrote: ?Few books are this lovingly produced.? Elle magazine described it as ?simply beautiful?.
The last copies are available on a first-come first-served basis at www.Genesis-Publications.com, priced at £345 plus p&p.
