Peter Hook's highly praised memoir 'The Haçienda: How Not To Run A Club' is being published as an exclusive limited Special Edition boxed set - an essential collector's piece.

Legendary Joy Division and New Order bass guitarist Hooky tells all in his book, which is a great insight into the tumultuous 15 years of the The Haçienda - mixmag published an exclusive extract from the memoir when it was released last year.

Inside the Special Edition boxed set you'll find signed and individually numbered volumes with previously unpublished material, plus a vinyl 10" record in which Hooky revisits classic New Order tracks and turns in the entirely new track 'The Viking'.

Publishers Foruli have designed and created the boxed sets with the help of Hooky himself and the packages are completed by a special art print suitable for framing.

There are only 400 copies of the Standard edition (£300) which even includes a part of the club's dancefloor while there are 100 copies of the Deluxe (£600) which also contain a piece of the Haçienda's granite bar top. Two extra Ultimate editions are also available which include one of only six handmade custom FAC51 Haçienda bass guitars.
