I'm literally hoping there is a story behind the color.
Like why that color? Why not a different shade of blue or red or yellow.
But I guess that's just me being difficult. Or just the bit of info that I am interested in.

It's been showing as unavailable on Amazon for the past week. It is still on Bull Moose for preorder for $42 with free US shipping. I don't know how much for international.

I just got my Blue Series book from the Vault, and while I still think $90 is a bit pricey, let's just say if the regular edition ends up being $35-40 on Amazon, it's WAAAAAAAY worth it. Wow!! Really nice, filled with lots of material, and I daresay it's going to be hard to put down once I dive in. Mysterious teeeeeeeny-tiny pic on the last page—even my powerful old-school magnifying glass doesn't help much (a guy holding a guitar?).

Nonetheless——even though I've bid adieu to the minutiae of TMR collecting, I cannot pass up a music books like this. Huge kudos to Ben and everyone involved getting this together. I sure wish I was a freelance proofreader for TMB though . . .

I havent been able to get the special version so I'm considering whether the ~$50 extra is worth it. Why do you think it is? Apart from signature and blue color of vinyl are there any other differences?

From what we currently know there are no other differences.
Meybe there wont be a slipcase? Maybe it will not be a hardback? I doubt it though.

Unless you need the single on blue (instead of black) and Ben's autograph, def no need to chase an after-market copy. The slipcase is just cardboard and I'm betting the regular edition will have it as well. Buy the regular edition—the content I'm sure is exactly the same.

Special editions back in stock at Cass... and pretty much everywhere across the nation. I swear, every time I blink there's a link to a store with one available.

The standard version is back up for preorder on Amazon for $60. Surely it's against their preorder guarantee to cancel an order saying it's out of stock just to put it back up again for preorder at a higher price?

Yes, it is. :evil: Too bad Amazon Prime = free shipping, otherwise I'd just get it from TMR.

The snippets quoted in the listing are pretty cool, though.

if the regular edition is 60 and the special edition is 95, then its easier to justify an upgrade vs 40-95...
