A Message from NEIL PEART

An email from RUSH.COM:

 

To anyone who bought a copy of The Masked Rider in Milwaukee on the 30th

Anniversary Tour.

 

A new trade paperback edition of my first book, The Masked Rider, was put on

sale for the first time at the Marcus Amphitheatre in Milwaukee on June 7th,

2004. After the show, when I had a chance to look over the book carefully, I

realized it had been produced with serious flaws (no photos, wrong maps, various

typographical and design errors, missing portions of text).

I immediately stopped its sale and had the rest of the printing destroyed, but I

feel bad for the unfortunate few who bought copies that night. A corrected

second edition has now been produced and put on sale, and I would like to

replace those first defective paperbacks with an autographed hardcover copy of

the proper new second edition.

Please send your defective copy to the address below, and we will make it

right.

 

With apologies,

Neil Peart

Don't send it back!!! It will be worth more in the future!!! yes.gif

I was thinking the exact same thing. Definatly a worthy peice of Rush memorabilia having something recalled after only being on the shelves 1 night.

Excellent Point! trink39.gif

Hmmmm....what's more valuable? A potential big-money eBay collectible Masked Rider defective edition, or a personally autographed new copy? I can't decide...

Maybe a defective copy signed by The Professor saying 'Sorry!'.

I'm thinking Neil doesn't want anyone to own a defective version of his work. He's obviously a person who takes great pride in everything he does, whether it's his music or his literary work. He feels if someone is willing to plunk down money for something he created, they should have an accurate copy of it. I'm sure he's aware that some will chose to keep it as a collectible, either to keep or to try and cash in on it. He's just giving people the option of obtaining a correct copy at no additional cost should they choose to.

I just glad I'm not the printer who did that - that's a bad day at the office - as a printer you just can't go more wrong than that.

 

I sorry that anyone has to have a book, created with blood and sweat, that's not right.

 

Yeah send it back, you wouldn't want a bad example of your work out there
