Well, there is a official Box with pen, bio and slide.

I have got a English Promo Box.

The Box looks like tarasam@wolfenet.com wrote. I only can add its glossy
(all other boot-boxes I have seen are matt in some way).

The content:

A slide (Kate sitting on a white box dressed in Black warring red ballet
shoes the ribbons are untied only one shoe visible) shown in KBC Magazine
The Red Shoes on page 19.

A black  Fountain pen with red ink small sticker on the side: Kate Bush The
Red Shoes . 1993

A Video Tape (VHS PAL, black cover with round picture from the LP on front
and back. The same picture and Kate Bush in white letters on the side.
Inside just a white label underlined: Kate Bush  EMI
The Video includes Rubberband Girl (UK version) 2:15 
A few picture from Aspel and company (less then a second)
Rubberband Girl (US Version) 4:0
Moments of Pleasure Live performance at Aspel and Company 5:0
Running time 12:00

The CD The Red Shoes (German release) like the standard CD no promo label.

A "Kate Bush Factsheet" (Biography) only the major parts of here live (A$)
A "Kate Bush U.K. Discography" a list of the singles including the Single file
her albums including This Woman's Work and The Red Shoes. But it also says:

This Woman's Work This box set, available on cassette and CD only,
containing all of Kate's studio albums to date as well as extra albums
containing B-sides and extra tracks thus encompassing Kate's entire
recording career to date.

That's the content of the Box I have got.

BTW what do you think about the statement: This Woman's Work This box set,
available on cassette and CD only. I have got a LP version of TWW where
dose that come from if it has never been released?
