UPDATE - 9/23@3:25PM: Interesting info from 1-2-Bucklemyshoe in the comments for anyone who has already bought the special edition. I've heard the same from a few people now:
I ordered and received the special edition (with the baseball) earlier this year. It's very nicely packaged.
I also got an email a few weeks ago saying that everyone who purchased the special edition would receive a secong copy of the standard version (because they know some of us like to keep collectables in the original wrap).
I don't know if this applies to those who but the special edition now, so take that information with a grain of salt. But I thought I would mention it here. I thought it was cool that they made that offer.

Back in late 2023, Geddy Lee wrote a book of baseball stories titled 72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee that he included as part of a package given to the winning bidders in a baseball auction that included much of Ged's extensive collection. He then announced via Instagram back in October of last year that he would be releasing the book for wide distribution sometime in 2025. A special, limited-edition version of the book was briefly made available around Christmas at the Rush Backstage Club. That edition is autographed, and comes encased in a red cloth-bound slipcase which includes an exclusive, custom-made Geddy Lee baseball, created specifically for this project. The standard version of the book will be available this coming Tuesday, September 30th (just in time for the MLB playoffs) and pre-orders are available here. And if you missed out on the special edition last year, it's been made available again, and you can order one at this location. Geddy recently sat down with his co-writer Daniel Richler to discuss the book in this Instagram video:
