Hi List and Kevin. Can anyone briefly explain the history of this book. In
other words I remember some years back when this came out for the very first
time, and I purchased a soft cover copy. I believe at that point there were
like only 300 or so copies ever available, and maybe the first 300 were
signed. When did the amount change? When did it go to hardcover? Do I have a
"first print"? Just wondering.
Sincerely
