Reader Offer On Memorabilia-Stuffed Stones Book!

2:47 PM GMT 16/12/2011

If the Rolling Stones extravaganza in this month's MOJO magazine has whetted your appetite for all things Glimmer Twins, then feast your (far away) eyes on the evocative facsimile memorabilia spilling out of Glenn Crouch's Treasures Of The Rolling Stones book-in-a-box thing.

A fully illustrated colour book with card sleeves stuffed with eye-opening ephemera, Treasures of The Rolling Stones charts the story of the band from the group's humble beginnings in suburban south-east London through to global domination. Compiled and written by Crouch, who has worked with the Elvis estate and Dolly Parton, it's chronologically divided, in detail, decade by decade, album by album and member by member.

Publishers Carlton have allowed us an exclusive glimpse at some of the book's choicest gleanings (see below). Moreover, readers of MOJO can buy Treasures Of The Rolling Stones for the special price of £20 including free p&p in the UK (RRP £25). The offer is valid until January 31, 2012. To order a copy call 0844 576 8122 and quote code AD144.
