Helvetica DVD – Last 50 limited-edition boxes released
Gary’s Freitag bag is up for grabs in a benefit auction, see below
THE LAST 50 LIMITED-EDITION BOX SETS, ON SALE MONDAY
You probably know that the 1,000 copies of the limited-edition DVD box set sold out the week we started taking pre-orders back in August. After the dust had settled from the shipping date a few weeks back, we discovered we still had 50 copies left in the warehouse. So this Monday, December 17th, at 2pm EST, we’ll put the last 50 box sets on sale in the web shop. THERE IS A LIMIT OF ONE BOX SET PER CUSTOMER. Head to the Helvetica web shop at 2pm EST (New York time) Monday for yours. We’ll also be auctioning off 10 copies of the box set to benefit A Public Space, see below.
UP FOR AUCTION: GARY’S HELVETICA FREITAG BAG, SPECIAL EDITION BOXES, MORE
The excellent Brooklyn non-profit arts magazine A Public Space sponsored our New York cinema run at IFC, and now we’re returning the favor by auctioning off 10 of the sold-out limited-edition box sets as a benefit for them. Plus, director Gary Hustwit has donated his personal Helvetica Freitag bag, as seen in the movie. It’s the yellow one with the X on it that you see being made at the factory, the bag that also accompanied Gary on his 90-city international screening tour. Inside the bag, you’ll find a limited-edition box, a Helvetica T-shirt, and special extra goodies. It’s all for a good cause, so bid now! See all the auctions.
