UPDATE - 10/22@3:38PM: There is also a listing on the Harper Collins website with the same information as the Amazon listing (thanks RushFanForever).

Late last year Geddy Lee auctioned off some of his extensive baseball memorabilia collection, and the auction's accompanying catalog mentions a book titled 72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee that was gifted to the winning bidders:

Some of the items offered for sale in this auction are among Geddy's favorites. A number of those are contained and described in the beautifully photographed limited edition book, 72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee. Bidders who purchase those items will receive a copy of the book, signed by Geddy. ...

Geddy addressed the book in an interview with the Illinois Entertainer in the lead-up to the auction last year (thanks Jay R):

... It's a collection of stories from some of my favorite items in my collection. Maybe I'll release it on opening day next year, I don't know. I'm going to include a copy of the book to the winning bidders of those particular items in my sale that are also featured in this book. I'll give them a signed copy. [The book] came together in a relatively painless way. I wrote it with my co-writer, Daniel Richler. Richard Sibbald, who shot the Big Beautiful Book of Bass, took the photographs. They're absolutely stunning. ... So, there is a book, and I'm really pleased with it. I'm trying to get it printed now, in time for the auction. It's called 72 Stories from the Collection of Geddy Lee....

The existence of the book led many fans to wonder whether it would ever be available to the general public, and it now looks like they have an answer. Although there's been no official announcement, there is now an Amazon listing for the book, albeit with limited information (thanks RushFanForever). As of now, it looks like the book will be available in hardcover and for Kindle via Harper Collins, with a currently slated release date of May 13, 2025. More information as we learn it.
