I think it's a children's book that consists of the lyric of the song, plus illustrations. It was announced so long ago I can't remember the details.

Googling the ISBN (9780991336180) gets a few results.

Interesting that Amazon.uk comes up but I don't see U.S. Amazon. Lots of small shops, though, which is nice to see. And Target!

Also, the sites I'm looking at are saying July 11th.

So I'm assuming the Rough Trade version isn't some crazy special signed copy or whatever. I'm going to wait for a U.S. pre-order and save around $15 on shipping. Yikes.

Still, very interesting.

It actually makes me a bit sad that this was found and is being talked about. I like it when TMR surprises us with these things.

Photos from the Behance link above. This is from 2013 and seems fan-made. This likely isn't the one Rough Trade has up for pre-order. But stranger things have happened.
