publisher Kraken Media's CEO Karl Fowler told the media as follows:
"The signature page will be mixed with Sachin's blood – mixed into the paper pulp so it's a red resin. It is what it is – you will have Sachin's blood on the page,"
"It's not everyone's cup of tea, it's not to everyone's taste and some may think it's a bit weird. But the key thing here is that Sachin Tendulkar to millions of people is a religious icon. And we thought how, in a publishing form, can you get as close to your god as possible," said Karl Fowler.
The proceeds from the sale of the books will go to Tendulkar's charitable foundation to help build a school in Mumbai, an official said.
The publisher has also spoken about one thousands cheaper copies that will be priced at about £2,000 each.
