Fuck me, what a beautiful thing it is.
Signed off by Dec too. (#185/750)
With a Leicester Palais ticket at Pg 160 - which states "Rorschach Testing Presents NEW ORDER..."
Spooky.
Cheers Dec!
You should email Dec and see if he has any of his Rorshach testing fanzines left over from the early/mid 80s. Good N.O interveiw in it.
Mine arrived Monday #130.
Fantastic book, going to keep me busy for a while. The personalised message and matching Leicester ticket numbers were a great touch.
Dec really does reply swiftly to email enquiries doesn't he! Got an answer back within moments of enquiring about a delivery date. Sorted:)

No, that wasn't me.
Yep received mine yesterday, 542.
It's big isn't it! Tho the original limited run was even bigger ? Find I have to sit at the dining room table to marvel at it, far too heavy to hold for too long. But yeah , amazing book. Fantastic.
Mine's #73
...and for those wondering about the numeric synchronicity of the book and the bonus Leicester ticket, the following provdies a little more detail...
"When packaging up the books I'd been including those left over Leicester tickets rather randomly, number-wise, for a little while before I realised I could maybe sort of match some of them up with the number of the book. So some people have got lucky and others haven't. It would have been cool to have been able to do it with the whole lot but From Heaven to Heaven wasn't even an ink blot on any printing press back in May 1984. For those who have the book, some of this was noted within but I still have the Velos 99 numberer I used way back then so I could have numbered all the left over tickets that were still blank to suit... but that would have been sort of altering history or 'what had been'... not good. I also used that numberer on the 300 posters done for the Leicester gig and the 4000 copies of the Rorschach Testing magazine that included the New Order interview reproduced in From Heaven to Heaven. And along with all sorts of parties and club nights and the tickets for the following gigs, it also hammered down on the poster for the second of the two Cabaret Voltaire nights at Bedford Boys Club (150 only), as well as the one done for the Cocteau Twins gig at the same venue, (200 only). So, if it's possible to feel sentimentally attached to a piece of stationery... that's as good as any. It seems, though, the '99' hadn't appeared in time for the tickets to the two Wake gigs I put on in 1983. I scrawled them by hand, but Caesar, quite rightly, won't have been too bothered by this apparent lack of attention to detail. Dec"
I still have my Rorschach Testing..and yes #1055 is on the inside cover!
No. 237 checking in...... fascinating read and some very happy memories. Has anyone got the Galway tape? Love to hear that prototype Lonesome Tonight!
#175,ticket unnumbered.....read first 2 pages and then had it taken off me as it's a birthday present....which isn't until May.....bugger......

Surely there will be more copies, but only the first 750 will come with the tickets and handsigned by Dec, who BTW, did a marvelous work with this book.
