Description

Signed first edition of the unconventional diary A Year with Swollen Appendices.

  • Brian Eno (British).
  • London: Faber & Faber, 1996.
  • 424 pages.
  • Signed on a Global Business Network book club bookplate tipped to the half-title.
  • Bound in color pictorial paper wrappers with photograph by Anton Corbijn.


Diary for 1995 of Eno, who decided to keep a record of the year at the end of the previous, together with the 'swollen appendices' of the title: a collection of essays, stories, interviews, correspondence, and other documents included in the last quarter of the book (and printed on different colored stock to emphasize the point). The diary covers a productive time for Eno, in which among other events he worked with both U2 and David Bowie. This copy was distributed to members of the Global Business Network, an organization founded by Whole Earth Catalog editor Stewart Brand, and signed by Eno on their bookplate. Brand and Eno were friends and their correspondence about the Bosnian conflict is included throughout this book. Year remains one of the most extended artistic and biographical documents from the hugely influential artist, writer, musician, and producer. It was reissued in a 25th anniversary edition. The true first, however, remains uncommon, and it is decidedly scarce signed.
