A couple of weeks ago, we learned that Geddy Lee would be releasing a new baseball book in 2025 titled 72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee, although very few details were known at the time. The news was based on listings for the book that appeared on the Harper Collins website and on Amazon back in mid-October. Geddy made the news official yesterday with this Instagram post, and it turns out that a special edition of the book will be released in time for Christmas, with it then being offered for general release in the Spring. The special edition is an autographed, limited-edition book available exclusively from the Rush Backstage Club. The 160-page book comes encased in a red cloth-bound slipcase and includes an exclusive, custom-made Geddy Lee baseball, created specifically for this project. The special edition costs $249.98 and can be pre-ordered now with an expected ship date of early December. Geddy had written the book itself over a year ago and presented it as part of a package given to the winning bidders in a baseball auction that included much of Ged's extensive collection. Geddy also addressed the book in an interview with the Illinois Entertainer in the lead-up to the auction last year:

... It's a collection of stories from some of my favorite items in my collection. Maybe I'll release it on opening day next year, I don't know. I'm going to include a copy of the book to the winning bidders of those particular items in my sale that are also featured in this book. I'll give them a signed copy. [The book] came together in a relatively painless way. I wrote it with my co-writer, Daniel Richler. Richard Sibbald, who shot the Big Beautiful Book of Bass, took the photographs. They're absolutely stunning. ... So, there is a book, and I'm really pleased with it. I'm trying to get it printed now, in time for the auction. It's called 72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee....
