I purchased mine from the Hollywood, CA Virgin Megastore about a year after it's release and my copy did not include the sticker.

I always remove all stickers from all products like books, music etc. To me they are not an intended part of the artwork, merely a marketing thing and obscure the pure product.

But I am pretty sure different people have different views and stickers to them could be part of the collectable.

As it's mentioned here I wondered what a consensus was from us fans?!

I, too, tend to remove any extraneous stickers, labels, and price tags. However I have damaged only a few items that were affixed with a recalcitrant adornment. Patience, a steady hand, a sharp razor blade, and a bright light are what work best.
*Beware of unscrupulous eBay vendors who cover up previous damages with said stickers.

Slightly irked that I ordered the book on the day of preorder having missed out on the limited signed copy and my mate has just asked if I’d like him to pickup a signed copy from a bookshop in Somerset. I declined and didn’t dare ask him how much it was assuming it could well be less than the £40 I paid.

Does anyone have a telephone number for Volume? My limited edition has been between them and FedEx for 2 weeks and I’m being fobbed off by emails from someone named Beth at Volume. I suspect it’s lost but they refuse to give out a telephone number or call me on mine!

Update. On its way now apparently.

Mine arrived yesterday! Still paging thru it and think I’ve found several typos and incorrect info.

Most certainly not, but there were two digital EPs with different covers.

Back home - my copies arrived while I was in London for the concert of course! 🤣

Got to admit, I am mildly disappointed with the book - I hoped it might be more "square" and closer to the "coffee table" book that Catalogue was - I knew it was a smaller format, but this is like the size of a copy of Stephen King's "It", not nearly as showy.

The limited edition I am sure is much more the ticket, and I am still kind of astonished it was done as a limited run. I'd have gladly paid for a standardized version with a slipcase for a few extra bucks. Signatures would not required.

It's nice, but meh. Bringing together 40 years worth of info is going to make it a hefty tome, so I get the need to excise some parts but Catalogue really felt "complete" up to that point in their career. This doesn't give me that vibe at all.

My copy is delayed. I pre-ordered it from Amazon and they tell me that I will receive an email when there is an estimated delivery date. Has it happened to anyone else?
