Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

wow, amazing!


BTW, Don't forget to pay in $ it is 10% cheaper than in € :p... um wait, do you think that then would be sent from US? If so, I 'll have to pay all those taxes-20% vat + 5-10% other taxes :S
How do you know that you have to pay taxes?

Opus is UK company, I don;t think they will ship book to US and then back to Europe

Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

man, that's really nice. I like that Michael was about of it being created:)
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

ok, according to what I understand, this book will NOT feature completley unseen MJ photos, it will definately feature very much Seen ones, and regarding the unseen ones, it is still unknown, how unseen are they, the publishers might think they are unseen but fans on this board, will know, they are very much seen... Things like that happened already in past, when we were promised, unseen pics, that turned out to be seen. When it comes to Michael it is hard to have a lot of unseen, I think.
Second, this book will be expensive, because of the design, the silk cover, and what not.
Third, this is just an expensive product, without relation, to whether this will be seen or unseen pics, because I see, that, this company, specializes in general on very expensive books.
I truly don't know If I order it... It is nice, but seemes not enough, to justify the price. It better feature something interesting...:( I want more info...

I know about this, but still, will this thing like last forever? i see that it will not work without the website, would it? and still, I pay mostley fro the book itself.. What is inside, the book, that makes it soo unique and unseen before?

I dont know myself never had a opus book before but thay r ment to be unique in its way also i read somewhere michael had a say about this book,it just looks like a fantasic book,abit dear though thats the only downfall but according to what other peeps say its really cheap as normally opus books are dear,i have order it yet,i go to order it and think ahhhhhhhh i dont know its a huge thing to decided as its alot of money especialy when i have lost so much xxx
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

If I can come up with the money, I will definitely order it. It looks nice if nothing else and it'd be a nice collectible, but I feel that it'd have to be well-done at that price.
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

I'm just scared, that some of it is gonna be just recycled...? Tjere is this old quote on their website from Liz Taylor, from the old article by her, that was republished in History booklet, and before that it appeared in the DTD book, as far as I can remember, do they plan to include it? And the "poems" are gonna be republished from DTD book too? I truly don't know... I would also really hate to read some of today's star quotes on him, because imho they are nobodys, the best people to quote would be Liz, Culkin, Brooke, Quincy, Gordy..., people that were with him, from the start. Not todays phoney stars.

Basically my first impression right now, that it is just a very big book, specially desighned, and it has material on Mike, but it is old, and they just charge us, from the 12kg, silk/leather cover/case. and the big size, and just because it is the Opus book...

Kraken Opus, a London-based publisher of enormotomes.

The company’s stated aim is Homeric: “Kraken Opus was formed to create the most epic, stunning, iconic publications ever seen in the world of sport and entertainment on a scale never achieved before.”
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

"Kraken Opus produce incredibly large books that effectively bridge the gap between Art and Literature.

The name is a play on the word Magnum opus, from the Latin meaning great work, refers to the largest, and perhaps the best, greatest, most popular, or most renowned achievement of an author, artist, or composer.

"Our mission is to produce definitive publications featuring the finest writers, stunning images displayed on an epic scale and presented in a beautifully-designed, luxury format. We have created Opus with one purpose in mind: to make you, the reader, feel closer to the action and more part of every event than any publication has ever done before."
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

How do you know that you have to pay taxes?

Opus is UK company, I don;t think they will ship book to US and then back to Europe

If they send it from US, you have to pay 'only' 20% VAT for product worth from 22€-127€, but not taxes....I don't know if it 's for all countries in EU the same.
Opus is UK? Allright then:p


What's the point to have prices in different curriences...heh and you can choose from shipping to different countries but they are all the same price.
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

I know everyone thinks that is expensive but for a Opus book it's the cheapest one I've ever seen...by a LOT.
Me and multiple family members put money together to buy my dad the history of superbowl Opus book and it cost us $2700.
It was some 900 pages long, weighed like 60 pounds, the pages were crystal clear images and it was chock full of amazing things.
Handwritten game plans from Lombardi, every superbowl ticket, write ups by players, coaches etc. And a lot of photos that had never been released before.
It was just really really cool.

Based on what I've seen from them....I'm ordering one. You'll never find another Opus book so cheap for the work they put in it.
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

$165.00, there goes my car registration fee! But I'm definitely buying it!!
 
Re: 'Official Michael Jackson Opus'(BooK) Will Pop With Photos, Tributes

Does it include a bit of Neverland wall or something :)

ROTFL! No kidding eh?! $200 is almost half my rent for the month ... But, $200 for magic is kind of worth it I think. I get paid tomorrow *gives pondering look* This means I have a whole day to decide wether or not to buy this book. Oh who am I kidding, of course I'm buying it. Applehead is going to send me into bankruptcy. He better be getting a kick out of all this right now *shakes fist* :p
