On The One: A Marvellous Book About Prince

Illustrated by Clémentine Campardou, a.k.a. Blule, this book is the ultimate homage to the ultimate artist: Prince. The book is huge (43x33cm - 17x13in) and massive (2.6kg - 5.7lb) and beautifully crafted: Hot gold foil hardcover, 6-colour printing process on a 250gsm Rives Tradition paper, bound with laces. Clémentine, who worked for Prince the last couple years (https://prince.by.blule.fr), created 30 original illustrations specifically for the book: "It's my vision of Prince: not always accurate, yet always true. It's not chronological. It's anachronistic, even. He didn't believe in the concept of time. This book doesn't either. It's Prince, but it's also a fantasy character, like the ones he would invent for us. It's a kaleidoscope." The foreword is written by Ida Nielsen, Prince's former band member (NPG & 3rdeyegirl). Prince's legacy, more even than his music, is the community he created around him. Our duty now is to pass on this legacy onto the next generations. This book is one of the tools to do this. It was created thanks to the support of the Purple community, via a successful Kickstarter campaign.
