Hand-crafted hardcover quarter-bound in Italian leather with foil blocking and silver page edging, with a presentation box, 10.75 x 12.75, 248 pages. Signed on the colophon in black felt tip, "Eric." A second colophon is signed by three Crossroads musicians: Steve Cropper, Blake Mills, and Robert Cray. Includes a specially designed Crossroads fabric guitar strap, and a 7˝ vinyl picture disc with two Crossroads performances by Eric Clapton: 'Wonderful Tonight' at the first benefit concert in 1999 and 'Got To Get Better In A Little While' performed at Crossroads in 2013, both recorded at New York's Madison Square Garden. In very fine condition. Accompanied by the original drawstring bag and cardboard box.

In 1999, Eric Clapton invited a handful of musicians to join him on stage at New York’s Madison Square Garden to raise money for his Crossroads Centre, an addiction rehabilitation center in Antigua. Over the course of nearly 15 years, the festival grew into a celebration of guitar playing that drew musicians and fans from around the world. A gorgeous limited issue book brimming with archival photos and exclusive commentary on Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festivals.
