Bowie London Book Launch

11 May 2012

Genesis celebrated the UK release of our Bowie and Sukita collaboration SPEED OF LIFE with a media book launch at The Arts Club, London, on Tuesday, 8^th May. Over 140 members of the press attended, headed by Condé Nast President Nicholas Coleridge, who spoke of his lifelong fascination with David Bowie.

'I don't think I've enjoyed a new Bowie book for years quite as much as SPEED OF LIFE. Everything about it- the Sukita photographs themselves, the production values, the velvet shoe bag the book arrives in, the Bowie autograph on the frontispiece...all adds up to something amazing, to be treasured. An heirloom in fact. I don't actually know what it costs, I expect the same price as a small car. And you know what? It's worth it.' - Nicholas Coleridge, President of Condé Nast International

In his speech, company director Nick Roylance thanked the authors that have worked with Genesis over our 40-year history, including Jimmy Page, Geoff MacCormack, Aninha Capaldi and Ross Halfin, who were all present at the event. Gary Kemp and Alex Zane also joined the mix of Bowie's friends and fans in toasting our newest publication.

As well as SPEED OF LIFE and a range of our classic titles, a prototype of upcoming Lou Reed limited edition TRANSFORMER was available for guests to view. Click here to register your interest in this title.
