    Would be very cool if the book was released early,limited edition and signed for 10C members. My guess would be the first 50 ordered.

    Thank you for the heads-up, OP. McCready is a class act not just among musicians, but among human beings as well.

    Not when the selling point for paying another 40 bucks for the Deluxe edition is it being signed.

    & the book will be enclosed in a hard fabric-covered slipcase. IMO it's not a bad deal. Just wished the CDN dollar wasn't so weak I would totally buy another one right now.

    same with the GBP, makes this thing super expensive sadly, and there will unquestionably uk customs to factor in on the deluxe.

    Yeah. I keep looking at it and thinking the same. Add into that my amazon presale is only about £21 for the standard version and the extra £80 or so after shipping and tax kinda has me thinking twice.

    Just have to ask yourself how much the ink is worth it to you. I will be getting the regular edition. I dont care about autographs unless it was done for me in person. But if this is your thing, it is a very cool oppurtunity to have this.

    darn it!
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Holy shit I have a twin too! If our birth years match I say we play the lottery.
