The first edition of this book received deserved attention in design circles when it first appeared, but its $50 cover price likely doomed it in terms of mainstream sales. Less than a year after its release, it could be found in bargain bins for $15.

Nonetheless, it's still a refreshingly creative piece--from its original die-cut spiral binding to its richly vibrant photography. And now, well over a decade removed from the heyday of the landmark MTV UnPlugged, it's enjoyably nostalgic.

The perfect charity shop find

Scored on this at a thrift store. Normally don't pay more than a buck for a used book but paid $6.00 so much better than $50! I had forgotten some of these performances and wished some of the pictures were bigger.
