Hardcover, Copyright 2002, Limited to 2000 copies, Individually numbered #1810 of 2000. Signed by Sir George Martin CBE. Out of Print.

Playback is a supreme example of the art of the printer, the bookbinder and the boxmaker. The 328 pages (page size 290mm x 215mm) are masterprinted onto acid-free paper, of which 264 pages are on high-quality 200gsm matt art stock, 56 pages are on a fine textured 160gsm Fabriano paper and eight pages are on a bright orange, uncoated 160gsm Fedrigoni stock. There is a combination of colour and monochrome photography throughout and full colour endpapers. Each page is edged in silver.
 

The book is quarter-bound in black leather, with hard-wearing buckram-covered boards adorned with a chromium name plate and silver tooling. Housed in a specially-designed, hinged solander box, the cover of which is fashioned to give the appearance of a loudspeaker. The inside panels resemble part of a control desk and a turntable; the latter houses the accompanying Playback CD.
