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.

Found again where? Still just at Rough Trade?

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!runofthemill wrote:Googling the ISBN (9780991336180) gets a few results.

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

Re: Jack White We're Going to be Friends
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.

Re: Jack White We're Going to be Friends
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.
