"I've never kept a big diary past about 6 January (so I know a lot about the early Januaries of my life), but at the end of 1994 I made a resolution to keep one for 1995."
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.
First printing. London: Faber & Faber, (1996). 6.5'' x 5''. Original color pictorial wraps featuring a photograph by Anton Corbijn. 424 pages. Signed by Brian Eno on a "GBN [Global Business Network] Book Club" bookplate tipped to the half-title. Some faint reading creases to front wrap, trace shelfwear. Overall clean, bright, and sharp.
