    Bill, it's part of, but quite different than "Why We're in Vietnam" from Hearts in Atlantis.



    “The New Lieutenant’s Rap” is from Hearts in Atlantis, to be published by Scribner’s in the fall of 1999. This version, which differs considerably from the one which will appear in the book (it’s longer, for one thing), is offered as a little keepsake—my way of marking twenty-five fruitful (a little too fruitful, some critics would say) years as a novelist and freelance writer. It is limited to no more than 500 copies, each of which has been signed by me and numbered or lettered by Michael Alpert, who has so brilliantly executed all the Philtrum Press books, from The Plant to The Ideal Genuine Man. The printing is my own. So are the mistakes and scratch-outs.
    I hope what follows makes you as uncomfortable as it does me.

    Hey guys, I seen somewhere else and see it discussed here... that ONLY 2ND PRINTINGS of Tom Gordon were done that night. Then later on people tried to peice together sets and used 1st's. I know of some sets our there that actually have a 2nd with them. Could it be: There was 1st's and 2nd's handed out that night? Any insight be great. Tanks

    I wasn't there, but it's my understanding (I read it on the internet so it must be true) that only 2nds were distributed that night.

    earlier in this thread Bruce maintains they were firsts. He stated his info comes from David @ Betts and Ken Lopez.
    "A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King

    I think they might have been. I was told by a good source that the 2nd thing is a rumor and fake.

    I have just updated the entry. According to reliable sources BOTH 1st and 2nd editions were given out that night.

    I still say "BULLSHIT!" It makes no sense that a party being held by the Publisher on the day the book broke that they would have 2nd editions there.
    I would like to know "Who this RELIABLE SOURCE is? and only believe it if they were indeed "AT THE PARTY. In the words of Judge Judy "HEARSAY IS INADMISSIBLE!"

    I have to agree with you. It doesn’t make sense....

    I would agree. I have author Stanley Wiater's full set (with Quiz, placesetting, invitation the whole thing) and the Tom Gordon is a 1st printing.

    That said....does anyone remember the Wolves of the Calla give-out that occurred at the Jacob Burns Center in New York (I think it was a Cujo film event?)...anyway, just released signed Wolves were given out to attendees and I think they were 3rd printings.
