Limited Edition Buddy Holly | Words of Love Deluxe – Imago Group Case Study
Case Study: Words of Love – A Buddy Holly Limited Edition Book by Genesis Publications
When Genesis Publications approached us to bring their deluxe tribute to Buddy Holly to life, we knew this wasn’t just another print job. It was an opportunity to celebrate a rock-and-roll icon in the best way we know how — through high-end bookmaking, attention to detail, and a whole lot of passion.
The Buddy Holly limited edition book is a collectible tribute to Buddy Holly’s legacy, blending powerful visuals, rare materials, and contributions from over 80 of the world’s most respected musicians. And we are proud to have contributed to this piece of music history.
Special Finishes
The Buddy Holly Limited Edition Book was quarter-bound in apple leather and cloth, with light blue screen printing and debossing. This type of binding ensures that each copy is durable.
To match the high-end design, each copy features shimmering gold-edged pages for a shiny and visually-striking finish.
The deluxe edition cover features original artwork screen-printed by none other than Ronnie Wood, guitarist of the Rolling Stones. This added a deeply personal and artistic touch, turning each copy into a unique piece of memorabilia.
Each special edition includes:
-
An 8″ x 10″ photographic print of Buddy Holly, blind-stamped with his signature.
-
A limited-edition 7″ vinyl of rare home recordings.
These extras turn the book into a fully immersive collector’s experience.
Collaboration from Start to Finish
From the earliest design stages to the final production, we worked closely with Genesis Publications to ensure every element of the Buddy Holly Limited Edition Book was handled with care. No detail was too small. Every finish and every page was treated with respect for both the music and the story it tells.
We believe that when you’re honouring a legend, the product should feel legendary too.
Project Overview
This project was all about blending print expertise with creative ambition. Limited in number, rich in detail, and packed with exclusive content, Buddy Holly Limited Edition Book is a perfect example of what happens when high-end design and skilled production come together.
We’re proud to have helped create something that not only celebrates a musical icon, but also showcases what print can do when it’s pushed to its creative limits.
