These special Publisher’s Copies include an Anniversary Edition copy of Moonage Daydream presented in a slipcase with an exclusive 8\” x 10\” photographic print. They will be created and made available for a limited time.

Celebrating 50 years of Ziggy Stardust, the Anniversary Edition presents Moonage Daydream as the authors intended. It is printed in the same large format as the sold-out limited edition of 2002 (350mm x 250mm / 13 ¾\” x 9 ¾\”), and, at 328 pages in length, the new book reintroduces material cut from the hardback printing of 2005.

Presented in a new blue cloth binding, finished with gold lightning flashes, the Publisher’s Copies feature an authentication page stamped by the David Bowie Estate and are housed in a protective slipcase.

Within the set is an exclusive Mick Rock Estate-stamped print of a photograph not previously included in Moonage Daydream. Produced from the negative at Rock’s preferred photo lab in New York, the colour C-type reproduces a stunning live shot of Bowie onstage at London’s Earl’s Court, in May 1973, and is suitable for framing (203mm x 254mm / 8\” x 10\”).
First published as a signed limited edition, Moonage Daydream sold out in a matter of months and became lore among David Bowie fans. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s acclaimed album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the book is available once more as an Anniversary Edition for bookstores worldwide. Exclusively for Genesis subscribers, for a limited time, a short run of books are being presented as Publisher’s Copies.

The closest we’ll ever get to a straight up Bowie autobiography — but who’d ever want anything straight-up from Bowie?’ – Rolling Stone

In 2002, David Bowie and Mick Rock created Moonage Daydream, the defining document of the life and times of Ziggy Stardust. Twenty years later, it remains the closest readers will get to understanding Bowie through his own words.

Alongside over 600 photographs taken by Mick Rock, Bowie’s personal and often humorous commentary gives unprecedented insight into his work and the creation of his most memorable persona. Readers can see how Bowie singlehandedly challenged and elevated 1970s culture through his style, his inspirations ranging from Kubrick to Kabuki, and his creative spirit, which endures through the decades. Moonage Daydream is the essential David Bowie book.

First published as a signed limited edition by Genesis Publications, Moonage Daydream sold out in a matter of months and became lore among David Bowie fans. Now, on the 50th anniversary of Bowie’s acclaimed album, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, the book is available again. Published in a new larger format, this uncut edition keeps to Bowie and Rock’s original vision, allowing us to explore Moonage Daydream the way the authors intended.

‘This is a book of extraordinary photographs. Ziggy Stardust blazed briefly but intensely, and I am delighted to see his life and times as a rock’n’roll star immortalised in this book.’ – David Bowie
