ENFANT VAUDOU SIGNÉ ET populaire NUMÉROTÉ ILLUS LEGEND OF JIMI HENDRIX Sienkiewicz BK + CD

A touching story, often told in Hendrixs own words, song lyrics, and poems--all amidst the backdrop of the turbulent 60s. Painted by Bill Sienkiewicz with creative consultation by Will Eisner, this biographical graphic novel examines Hendrixs childhood, his roots in the blues, his search for personal identity, and his dazzling rise to stardom.

This is a graphic docudrama in comic-strip format of the turbulent life of rock star Jimi Hendrix. Like a cinematic docudrama, it hews to the events of Hendrixs career but creates dialogue and uses various devices - notably, snippets of Hendrixs lyrics as commentary on the action at appropriate moments - to heighten the drama of the guitarists colorful life. It also marks the return to comics of one of the mediums most innovative artists, Bill Sienkiewicz, who, at the time of publication had been largely absent from the field for several years. His imaginative, evocative full-color illustrations and narrative mastery supply much-needed substance that turns a rock-bio-in-comics into a genuinely compelling package.

It is profusely illustrated, being a graphic novel, and has many, many styles of illustrations. Here are a few samples directly from the book...

This book also includes an unreleased, digitally mastered CD, Jimi By Himself: The Home Recordings, containing 30 minutes of previously unreleased tracks, unavailable elsewhere.

Songs include:
1. 1983: A Merman I Should Be
2. ANGEL
3. CHEROKEE JAM
4. HEAR MY TRAIN A’COMIN’
5. VOODOO CHILE/CHEROKEE MIST
6. GYPSY EYES!

To say that this is a rarity is an extreme understatement. In fact, the original book was limited to 11,000 copies world wide; but this hand numbered edition, printed on thick stock and housed in a sturdy slipcase is one of only 1500 (thats only THIRTY PER STATE, assuming the rest of the world got NONE!) A copy of the signature page is shown right. As of this writing, I could find not a one, anywhere else at any price! Slipcased Hard Cover, 9x11, 128 pages, Full Color.

These are getting harder and harder to find. Better grab this while you still can! A physical description follows...

About Me & This Item...

I have been collecting books and music for over 35 years and have amassed an enormous collection. I do not subscribe to "grading" as it is so subjective and most of the "graders" truly have no clue! Therefore Ill simply describe things in normal English!

*This is a brand new book, never even opened except to check to see if the CD was still sealed, and it is, and to take pix of the inside. It is a stunning rendition, worthy of any fine library. A rare and exceptional specimen... Email me if you have any questions.

For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...

I have LOTS of music items, and tons of books available for purchase. Please check my other offerings to see if there is anything else you might be interested in for combined shipping. There are links above and below and why not bookmark my site to make it easier to find at a later date!

PAYMENT TERMS: Pretty simple. Pay me, I send it, BUT ONLY TO A REGISTERED ADDRESS! Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I wont be able to comply per eBay policy. See below..

Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on...

GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK!
I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded!

IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.

Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options.

Since I am a legitimate business, Some states will require sales tax to be collected. Ebay will collect such as required. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS!

PAYMENT OPTIONS:

I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .

Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.

As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents.

SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPALS "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address.

SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the items picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live.

REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES:

Media Mail (once known as 4th class mail) is a special class of postage for books, music, videos and other printed media available within the US and territories. It is far less expensive than Priority Mail, but - it ..... is ........... slooowwwww!!!! Despite USPS claims of 3-9 day delivery times, MEDIA MAIL CAN actually TAKE UP TO 3 WEEKS to arrive, and their tracking info is frequently not updated until it actually arrives, making that feature pretty useless! PLEASE remember this when you leave feedback scores as the choice is yours and not my fault if it takes a long time to get there! If you want it in a week or less, you are going to have to bite the bullet and pay for Priority Mail which will get it there in 2-3 working days, 99% of the time, but it is more expensive. Basically, the choice is yours, but if you choose media mail, please dont write to me in 5 days asking where your package is, because the post office will have it and most of the time, they dont have a clue!

International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.

Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyers responsibility. You can check with your countrys customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.

Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral.
