Bon Jovi announce new, limited edition, hand-signed book ‘Forever’
Rock icons Bon Jovi are set to release their first-ever official anthology ‘Bon Jovi: Forever’ a comprehensive celebration of their extraordinary 40-year career. Published by the British family-owned Genesis Publications, the book is narrated by Jon Bon Jovi himself and offers unparalleled access to the band’s vast archives. ‘Bon Jovi: Forever’ will begin shipping in June 2025, and the limited-edition version is now available for pre-order.
This meticulously curated collection showcases a wealth of memorabilia, including handwritten lyrics, tour passes, posters, stage costumes, studio tracklists, guitars, and hundreds of rare photographs from both personal archives and private collections. Accompanied by vivid images capturing the band live, backstage, on tour, and in the studio, the anthology offers fans a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into Bon Jovi’s storied journey.
Jon Bon Jovi’s Personal Narration
Through exclusive interviews, Jon Bon Jovi shares the stories behind these artifacts, providing insight into the creative process behind the band’s songwriting, their chart-topping albums, and legendary performances. Jon recounts his early days writing lyrics in high school notebooks, playing the Asbury Park music scene, and recording their first breakout hit, ‘Runaway.’ The anthology spans the creation of their Multi-Platinum albums Slippery When Wet and New Jersey to their latest 16th studio album, Forever.
“There was no Plan B, even before there was an audience,” Jon reflects. “It was just the feeling you got singing a song and playing in a band—something in that electricity, the sheer sound of loud, that captured my imagination.”
Exquisite Limited Edition Design
‘Bon Jovi: Forever’ is available in a limited edition of 1,500 hand-numbered copies, each signed by Jon Bon Jovi. The book is quarter-bound in black vegan leather, with its front cover featuring an image of Jon’s denim jacket from the Forever album cover. Silver foil accents, heart-and-dagger motifs, and page edges give it a striking finish. The book is presented in a custom clamshell box lined with a vibrant montage of Bon Jovi tour memorabilia.
Each copy includes exclusive collectibles, such as a chrome-colored 7” vinyl featuring two unreleased recordings, replica tour passes, guitar picks, pins, and other items from the band’s archive. A handcrafted case holds the book, lifted by a pull-ribbon adorned with the Bon Jovi logo.
