Foruli special editions

Foruli Publications are proud to announce the publication of strictly limited luxury Special Editions of Peter Hook's highly praised memoir The Hacienda: How Not To Run A Club. They are available from October 2010.

The legendary Joy Division and New Order bass guitarist Peter Hook gives his unflinching account of the tumultuous fifteen year stretch of The Hacienda, the Factory Records and New Order-owned nightclub which became one of the most celebrated venues in the history of clubbing.

With the full co-operation of Hooky himself, Foruli's design team and craftspeople have created boxed sets which are the ultimate testament to the Hacienda's legacy and are essential collectors? pieces.

The Special Editions contain signed and individually numbered volumes with exclusive previously unpublished material, plus an exclusive vinyl 10" record in which Hooky revisits classic New Order tracks and turns in the entirely new track The Viking. The packages are completed by an exclusive art print suitable for framing.

The Special Editions also feature rare specially sourced and presented memorabilia. The Standard edition (400 copies) includes a mounted piece of The Hacienda's legendary dance floor, while the Deluxe edition (100 copies) and Ultimate edition (2 copies) additionally include a piece of The Hacienda's granite bar top. The Ultimate edition is accompanied by one of only six handmade custom FAC51 Hacienda bass guitars.

"The idea of doing a limited edition book came as a shock at first but when you see how beautiful the packages are and the obvious respect that has gone into creating them they really evoke and bring to life the original graphic identity and ethos of the Hacienda. The club's design and identity was always funded with no thought of expense. Whether one person or a thousand saw it, it prioritised Art well above Money. Foruli have managed to immortalise my original book with these special editions and I have to say I'm delighted with the result. They are what I can only call works of art." Peter Hook, July 2010
