Pelé, one of the greatest footballer’s that ever graced the game, died on December 29, 2022. In one of my previous incarnations as editorial and creative director at London’s Gloria Books (now closed), I am proud to have produced this Pelé collectable — a king-sized illustrated biography covering the key moments in the Brazilian football legend’s life.
The photo-book was a mammoth undertaking, consisting of 720 pages, 250,000 words and over 1,700 images. It was printed in a limited edition of 2,500 copies, each of which was signed by Pelé himself. The finished item was presented in an XXL-sized format, measuring 45cms x 35cms.
