BABS SANTINI

Twelve years in the making, we are proud to announce the arrival of the highly anticipated Babs Santini book, The Formless Irregular, published by Timeless Edition!

A deep exploration of Santini’s visual ouvré, this compendium was conceived by Andrew Thomas and has been compiled and designed by Andrew, in collaboration with Steven and Sarah Stapleton. She is presented as 560 glorious full-colour pages, across 17 chapters, in a 10” X 10” hardback book, limited to 800 copies. Chronicling and thematically arranging art created over 5 decades it features, but is certainly not limited to, the covers of countless Nurse with Wound titles, alongside work for bands including Coil, Current 93, Stereolab, Whitehouse and Sand. Numerous never before seen pieces, and illuminating textual interludes, augment this unique catalogue of (almost) everything Steven Stapleton has created in the visual field! Also featured is a comprehensive, career-spanning discography, and an archive of United Dairies releases, the legendary record label set up by Steven Stapleton and John Fothergill, in 1979.

Copies are expected to ship in August and will be available to preorder on the Timeless Edition website on Saturday July 19th at midday, Central European Time.

The Formless Irregular is offered in 3 different editions. Click on an image below to view each.
