Motörhead have announced a new book titled Ye Book of Inconsequential Scribbles of Lemmy Kilmister 1st Esq., showcasing the doodles and musings of the band’s legendary late frontman.
The tome is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies, and is available to pre-order from Motörhead webstore for the price of $40, with shipments expected in early November. An official description reads:
“Lemmy was a proud doodler and writer, filling many journals over the years. He always hoped to see a collection of his unique insights into life get published, and so it is that Motörhead is proud to announce the 500 hand-numbered, limited-edition release of Ye Book of Inconsequential Scribbles of Lemmy Kilmister 1st Esq., a highly anticipated collector’s item, sold exclusively online.
Showing some of Lemmy’s finest doodles, Ye Book of Inconsequential Scribbles offers an unfiltered peek into the mind of a man whose view of the world was wryly humorous and timelessly prescient.
Each page is a tribute to Lemmy’s unique ability to capture life and those who live it with his trademark unapologetic attitude and wicked sense of humor. This limited-edition release both fulfills a wish he had to see these musings in print, as well as celebrating the true essence of one of rock’s most influential figures.”
The book news comes just ahead of release of We Take No Prisoners: The Singles: 1995-2006 this Friday (pre-order here). The box set collects Motörhead’s late-career singles.
Lemmy fronted Motörhead from 1975 until his passing at the age of 70 in December 2015. He recently landed at No. 30 on Consequence‘s list of the 100 Greatest Bassists of All Time.
