[DudeAsInCool]

Cover by Wayne Coyne/the Flaming Lips

Collector's Edition is a new art book by Stuart Tolley that offers a visual survey of collectible, limited edition album packaging. Appropriately, the book is getting its own one-of-a-kind packaging in an edition of 10, and they're a doozy: hand drawn artwork by music and design icons. It's called the "Artist Cover Bomb Series".

Paul McCartney, Nick Cave, the Flaming Lips' Wayne Coyne, Radiohead artist Stanley Donwood, Peter Gabriel, Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja, and others. They're available for auction here until December 12. Find more covers below.

Each book is being auctioned off to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society.

Tolley said of the series: 

"A book celebrating innovative, tactile print graphic design should have its own collector's edition and I want the Collector's Edition Artist Cover Bomb Series to be the Woodstock of the genre. I've invited the world's most celebrated artists, musicians and designers to participate in an auction event to raise funds for The Alzheimer's Society, a charity close to my heart."
