This booklet was issued to accompany a 1992 nine-CD boxed set of Pink Floyd albums issued up to that time, from 1967 onwards as a stop-gap release before what would be their next album 'The Division Bell' released in 1994. As such it is a very nice lyric booklet with the trail of several newish Hipgnosis visual/design ideas in it, proving that even that late on there was new life in the Pink Floyd brand/name yet.

I borrowed it from my local library who kept the book even though the boxed set it came from was long gone from the library service. So it was an oddity to read and something of a rarity on it's own. Though having said that similar items have appeared on ebay, also orphaned from the boxed set they were once part of.
