This stunning limited edition of The Quite Nice and Fairly Accurate Good Omens Script Book features:
Signed by Neil Gaiman.
White cloth boards with gold foil detail.
Endpapers printed with gold metallic pantone.
Extra material: four exclusive bonus sequences with introductions by Neil Gaiman and ‘Scribbles on Set’ from artist Lorna May Wadsworth – a series of bespoke black-and-white sketches from the Good Omens set.
Marker ribbon, head and tail bands.

Yeah but Foyles doesn't have it in the title or in the description.

the foyles listing (no longer available) does not mention it is signed - but does state that there were only 1000 printed (at least we now know the print run):

Of course it's no longer available. LOL.

I only ordered the regular signed edition. Didn't see the white one. Or maybe I ignored it <_<

Okay - just a few items of interest:
1) Finished watching Good Omens with the family - loved it, they did a wonderful job, acting was superb and loved how well they stuck to the book
2) very cool...but extremely pricey - even I won't bid on this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-/183847849352
3) need a good read: https://www.theguardian.com/books/20...331_wpO6wUbyXU
4) lastly - I have a new Gaiman Pride and Joy/Grail item in the mail...should have it in hand by middle of next week :)

The white signed limited edition of the Good Omens Script Book arrived yesterday. It has five deleted scenes...the one common to all the books, and then four scenes not in the others: "In which Aziraphale meets the neighbours," "In which Crowley gets drunk with Leonardo da Vinci," "In which Aziraphale searches for a body," and "In which Crowley goes clothes shopping."

And so the extra scene in the Waterstones edition is indeed exclusive to it, and not in this limited edition.

The limited also contains a sketchbook of scenes by an artist who visited the set.

Just got the Ineffable Good Omens today - wow did they go above and boyend, a ton of extra stuff to go through too and a very nice job with the book. The case - being of cardboard in nature - was well thought out and cool - but could easily split - as mine did in one corner (I need to send Tham an email to replace mine - and I would not store the book in the replacement - if you get one - you will see what I mean. Just from the book sliding a bit in transit would cause a corner to split. Other than that it was a fine job - now we will see if they answer an email regarding the case.

info on the Celestial edition of Good Omens, which was sent out to those who enquired. Its too much for me! (Guess I will go and buy an Ineffable Edition now then!)

Price including UK delivery* by specialist art couriers is £6,666 per copy.
A number of these books are available to reserve upon payment of a 50% deposit.

This rare presentation copy is a serious investment for the book and art collector. The craftmanship in this edition elevates every tome to a printed masterpiece.
Each copy is individually printed and hand bound by artisans in the UK.
The leather-cased hardback features bespoke metal corner pieces, hand-marbled endpapers and gold foiled page edges.
Dedicated signature pages, signed by Terry Pratchett’s co-author Neil Gaiman and artist Paul Kidby, correspond to the twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet.
The book contains 20 colour illustrations, and further pencil art and graphics, printed using state of the art printing and foiling techniques.
The volume is presented in a tailor-made burr oak box, with winged hourglass metal inlays, and an inset brass disc inscribed with the Greek character unique to each copy.
Inside, a secret compartment reveals further Good Omens bounty: an envelope of fourteen items of ephemera including maps, prophecy cards and unique art prints.
Also contained within the box is a hardbound copy of never-before-published William the Antichrist, the very first inception of the Good Omens story written by Neil Gaiman over thirty years ago.

Overall we believe we have created a truly Celestial edition.

that is absurd - absolutely crazy

I got mine yesterday. Luckily no splitting of the interior box. It's a nice edition but I really can't see how they can make the Celestial edition £6371 nicer :nope:

No kidding - if anyone here over indulges - please share...and they did ship me a new box (so hopefully that will be nicely intact) - although I am not sure that I will store it in the new box - I might just keep that separate and try not to split anymore corners (and keep it in the old box on the shelf

Did you order from Discworld or Paul Kidby’s site?

looks like I must've ordered from discworld - since their card was in the box.. I just emailed their sales directly. But I think that they are one and the same - since the discworld card said Sandra and Jo Kidby on it - and when I emailed sales - I got a reply back from Sandra. I had the original shipping email and actually just replied back to that...

Sandra Kidby
sales@discworld.com

So I guess it is a family thing...

I think Sandra is Paul's ex-wife.
They used to run a site together but now Sandra and Jo run Discworld.com and paul has his own site (incidentally, his non-discworld art is excellent too!).
It all seems very amicable and all Paul's discworld related books and art are sold on both sites.

WOW, this limited edition of GOOD OMENS looks amazing

I went ahead and ordered the limited edition. I saw a few more pictures on Twitter and it really looks nice. It is sold out on the Discworld site and it is almost gone on Paul Kidby’s. I think once people started to see the actual book they went ahead and placed orders. I’m sure he’s going to sell out of his remaining copies soon.

I would imagine so - they did a fine job. They also sent me a replacement case and it arrived lickety split - although I’m not using the new case. I might advise others to keep the book on a shelf outside of the case instead of storing in case if you plan on removing the book; I could foresee issues w the corners- it is just a cardboard case

Chad or Becca (or anyone else who ordered it), what are the dimensions of the Ineffable Edition?

Eric, did you order the Ineffable?

Yep, that’s the one. The order page has dimensions as 305 x 230mm, but Chad can verify the actual measurements. Mine is on the way.

yep - pretty frickin big - laying on its side - its as long as two copies of good omens next to each other, and about two copies deep...now trying to find a spot for it standing upright...oh wait - your wanted actual dimensions :)

The outer case is 333 x 257 x 94 mm. The book itself is 310 x 235 x 40 mm.

Thanks for the info! I’ll go do the conversions from metric.

I just got my copy. Holy cow! This is one of the most stunning limited edition packages I’ve ever seen. The book, the folder of extras, and the extra little book. Wow. It almost feels like a lettered Edition. I’m glad I ordered one since they are now sold out. Now I just need to figure out where to put it.
