Hi
All
Just
to let you all know that the second edition of the Dream Theater biography,
Lifting Shadows, is now available to pre-order!
VERY
IMPORTANT - IF YOU BOUGHT THE FIRST EDITION, PLEASE DO NOT ORDER YET, AS YOU
WILL BE RECEIVING A DISCOUNT CODE IN YOUR EMAIL BOX LATER THIS WEEK!
Full
details of this updated book can be found at www.liftingshadows.com
For
the second edition of Lifting Shadows, I've tracked down and interviewed even
more people involved in the Dream Theater story. The text has also been
thoroughly revised and updated. So there's also a detailed look at the making
of the Black Clouds & Silver Linings album, which includes all new
interviews with the band. Plus I've also added an appendix which covers the
numerous side projects, such as Liquid Tension Experiment, Transatlantic, OSI,
G3 and other solo albums, with interviews with the likes of Neal Morse, Jim
Matheos, Tony Levin and the DT guys. This is edition is also around 40%
longer than the original.
As
you might know, the original, two book, one CD special edition set has now
completed sold out. As that was sold strictly on the basis that it was a
limited print run, the publishers have rightly decided not to reissue that.
They are however producing a new limited edition version as there are people
who want something more special than just a hardback. So there are two versions
of the book on sale.
The
Classic Edition of the book is a standard hardback version. If you imagine the
“Words” book of the first edition, expanded by 40%, with 8 pages of colour photos.
The
second of these is the Limited Edition book, which is bound in real leather.
This contains the same text as the Classic Edition and also has 8 pages of
colour photos. The print run is limited to 2000 copies and each copy is hand
signed by myself.
The
books are being published by Essential Works who printed the first edition of
the book. All sales of the book will also be made via their website.
The
book is priced as follows:
Classic Edition:....

retails at $28.95 in the US, £17.99 in the UK and EU plus shipping.

version of the book.....
