I had the opportunity to look through each page of the limited edition at Andy's gallery reception in Santa Monica. It's a very nice book, but honestly, they are STILL black and white photos and many of them have kind of an "in the moment" snapshot quality, even on nice paper with high quality printing. It's not like they are pristine Annie Lebeowitz (SP??) studio pics. I think the nice price edition will be just fine for 99.999% of folks. I'm happy they are offering one.

According to the Taschen website info (which for some reason my computer will not let me link to) the new "nice price" edition is slightly smaller and doesn't include a slipcase.

Limited edition: Hardcover, slipcase, 27 x 34 cm (10.6 x 13.4 in.), 378 pages

"Nice price" edition: Hardcover, 24.9 x 31.4 cm (9.8 x 12.4 in.), 376 pages

It doesn't mention any other differences, but I would assume that the limited edition is more of a traditional art book, with high quality paper and printing processes.

I would guess that the smaller, cheaper book quality will reflect the fact that it's being mass produced.

what's so different about the $400 version, beside its being limited and signed?
