Here it is
I'm transcribing the handwritten letters/journal entries, so people can have an easy-to-read text version of Kurt's writing. If you want the full experience, I would recommend buying the book as it's got some of Kurt's artwork and comics, and much of the journal pages are best appreciated in the original handwritten format so you can get a sense of his thought process through what he puts in margins, what he crosses out/re-orders, etc. There's some pretty neat stuff in there, like cover art and T-shirt designs, Kurt's hand-drawn designs for the JagStang, and lots of fun little doodles in the margins. The Journals aren't for everyone, but I personally enjoy the book very much, and find that a good 90% of the material isn't too personal to not be comfortable reading.
But that's just my review, others on the sub have lots of differing opinions on the book. There's been some good discussion in the past.
To give a little more detail: That copy of In Utero, sealed, would likely sell for about $100 on ebay, and then you can grab this 3xLP version of In Utero (with my personal favorite Gallons of Rubbing Alcohol Flowing Through the Strip and Marigold too) and still have $50 leftover for a bag of..... for whatever you would spend $50 on. Gas and pizza maybe.
That same clear vinyl In Utero, not sealed, is worth more like $25-50, possibly more. That's why I kept mine. If I wasn't a big Nirvana fan maybe I'd see what I could get for it, but I love it in my collection and definitely play it.
In the case of the Beatles - a copy of Please Please Me recently sold for $2,900+ on ebay. I'd sell that in a heartbeat and buy the reissue for $18.
Cobain Unseen is a great book full of cool stuff like replica notes, sketches, tour tickets, etc from the band and Kurt. Kurt's Journals is a cool one too that is like reading his journals. Pretty much any Nirvana/Kurt book is a good read.
I know other's will disagree, but I enjoyed Nirvana: The Biography by Everett True. I hate reading books, but those 650 pages were pretty easy to digest.

I like them, they're not as good as Nirvana but have some cool songs.
I recommend this Album as a starter, first side is kind of a best of, second side is rarer songs.

When I first started out listening to Nirvana as a freshman in high school way back when, I listened to this greatest hits album. Helped me learn their most commercial stuff. AKA easy to listen to as some people have said in this thread. My favorite song is "Polly."
Have you read Cobain Unseen? https://www.amazon.ca/Cobain-Unseen-Charles-R-Cross/dp/0316033723 Pretty much 60-70% of that book is photos i haven't seen at that point, had probably seen like more than 100 or so pics at that time. Comes with all kinds of cool things like: a card that kurt made when he was young, a mask and a cd https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81jQ6l0IR4L.jpg
is it this one? https://www.amazon.com/Utero-Vinyl-NIRVANA/dp/B00004WP7P/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=in+utero+vinyl&qid=1563308150&s=gateway&sr=8-1
i wanna buy this record too but i wanna make sure it will sound good
Copyright laws in italy/europe at the time of bootlegs being popular allowed them to be manufactured there easily. If your interested I suggest reading this book
Thats ok, looks pretty cool anyways
Edit: [found it] (https://www.amazon.com/Cobain-Action-Figure-Skyblue-NECA/dp/B000GPWOU8)
If you're going for sound quality, you should get either the ORG pressing or the 20th anniversary pressing.
ORG version was mastered specifically for that reissue, whereas the 20th anniversary edition was cut at 45rpm for higher fidelity. Both sound awesome. The ORG version is also on clear vinyl which is kinda cool. Either way, if you're looking for Incesticide on vinyl, it isn't going to come cheap as all editions are long out of print.
ORG: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003AYBC82/ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_peYUub0M3091W
Anniversary: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nirvana-Incesticide-20TH-ANNIVERSARY-EDITION-NUMBERED-NEW-OVP-DGC-Vinyl-LP-/381773958217?hash=item58e3804c49:g:tHgAAOSwPCVX2wys
It is, but it is not listed as the Super Deluxe as of yet.

I got it at walmart a few years ago for $30 new. But if you dont mind it used you can get a pretty good deal on amazon.
There’s also this: Cobain on Cobain: Interviews and Encounters (Musicians in Their Own Words) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1613730942/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_l38UAbJRHTM2S

It’s a bootleg of the 8/17/90 show that can go under the radar because of some foreign rules about the legality of releasing material that was broadcast on radio, tv, etc. A good soundboard, but it’s freely available online and Nirvana makes zero money if you pay for this.
Zippo has a lot of nirvana lighters on amazon, you can just look up "Nirvana zippo" on Amazon and many will come up such as a portrait of kurt or the smiley, but I believe that this is the one op has
You might have to pay a lot on there for them. There's some good deals on Amazon for them. The Crawl cd is only $5.20 or so https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000008EEY/ref=sr_1_4_olp?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1502305235&sr=1-4&keywords=coffin+break

This one.
I found that Everett True's book offers the most insight on what exactly transpired during that last European tour. Things didn't go wrong all of a sudden, they were pretty bad in 1993 in terms of his addiction and not wanting to go on tour and then became even worse in 1994. Kurt wanted to cancel the European tour many times during that month of February. He even asked his management what would happen if he did cancel it and their response was "you're financially liable". Not good.
He also missed Courtney a lot as she was away in London and LA. He would call up Cali Dewitt (he was with Courtney) and constantly ask him if Courtney is cheating on him. He ultimately canceled the tour after Munich (his voice was gone by that time anyway) and then flew to Rome with Pat so he could finally meet up with Courtney. He didn't get the warm welcome he wanted, he felt emotionally rejected by her, so he tried to kill himself. After Rome various people felt that the coma affected his personality. I believe it was Krist who called him as being monochrome after the whole Rome ordeal.
​
He had the following things on his mind during March of 1994:
​
-- Was Courtney cheating on him or not? I'm pretty sure he was convinced that yes.
-- The lawsuit over the Heart-Shaped Box video (he felt that he could go bankrupt because of it and this terrified him yet he still canceled the tour and lost a ton of money, which shows you how paradoxical his personality could be at times).
-- The pressure of doing Lollapalooza. Everyone in his circle (especially Courtney) was pressuring him to do it. They would have earned $6M from that single concert, more than their entire European Tour. He just didn't want to do it. I'm sure the other bandmates really wanted to do it since they weren't getting royalties from songs and the In Utero album sales were nowhere near Nevermind's. And this further fostered the toxic environment in the band. By that point he barely even communicated with Dave and Krist.
-- There was also the infamous intervention which quite a few people mention in their books, Danny Goldberg especially. They all tried to get him to quit drugs, clean up and do Lollapalooza. He didn't want to hear any of it. His response was pretty much "If William S. Burroughs can lead a life as a junkie for 20 years, why can't I?". Which goes to show he had no intention of quitting heroin, he just wanted to disappear.
​
March 94 was the tipping point for Kurt Cobain. I wish he had the clarity to quit the band, get away from home, cancel all touring and just do nothing for a year or two... But when you're in the thick of it, it's easy to lose sight of the good things in your life.
