Beautiful Packaging

Post by paul jh » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:56 pm

The packaging of this release is stunning. It will be sure to attract many casual buyers at WH Smith especially as Christmas approaches.

It's neat how the CD sits in a clear plastic opening of the cover. And the 45 single looks just like the original.

The magazine is actually a short book and also looks fabulous with loads of photos.

Great job to all involved!

I agree Paul, it is very well packaged and beautifully presented. Although I haven't had chance to read the book yet I have browsed through the lovely photos, some I haven't seen before. I listened to part of the cd last night and it sounds great. :D

Well, i guess as its obviously ready, it could be any time now--but I did not see it in my large branch of Smiths last week.

No, I haven't seen it appear in W H Smith yet and it's not listed on their Web site, either.

Michele thought that the 'bookazine' would be on sale in large W.H.Smiths branches on Monday and smaller ones today Thursday.

Have to report no sighting as yet in our 'smaller' branch :(

We have just noticed that there are two threads running on the Bookazine topic and we have just put a post on Matt's World Of Music sub heading Matt's Bookazine.

It was just to say that we have had no luck at all trying to buy the Bookazine in WH Smith's Shops.

I've just had a tip off!

The Bookazine has indeed been sighted at a WHSmith in Birmingham!!!

"Just in Brum Centre and...whs had bookazine! and...got my 10% off with my whs discount card and...bought two copies (they had 8 but all in stock room so might be worth posting to forum for folks to "ask to check if in back" :)

Thanks to Don Cooper for the info!
