There will be a limited edition of 500 copies that are signed, numbered, and leatherbound for $500.
At age 65, Neil Young, with no ghost writer, tells his story. Conversational in tone we get it all– the music, the bands, his son the quadriplegic, his daughter’s epilepsy…he has never compromised and doesn’t start now. Comparable to the big bios like Bob Dylan, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton. Appearances on Fresh Air, Letterman, CBS This Morning all confirmed.
500 Limited editions for $500.00 apiece – signed, numbered, leather bound.

BookExpo America has its own rock stars: Barbara Kingsolver, Daniel Handler, Dean Koontz, whose name was on hundreds of posters on the front doors of the Javits Center. This year, it also had two actual rock stars: Neil Young and Patti Smith, who appeared on Wednesday afternoon at B.E.A. for an onstage conversation.
Both have new albums out: Young has just released “Americana,” a collection of folk songs such as “Oh Susanna” and “Clementine” updated as sprawling garage-rock and performed with his longtime partners in noise, Crazy Horse; and Smith has put out “Banga,” a collection that also touches on the American myth by adapting the journals of Amerigo Vespucci and, for that matter, includes a cover of Young’s “After the Gold Rush.” But they were at B.E.A. doing book business: Young’s memoir “Waging Heavy Peace” is due out in October, and Smith’s “Just Kids” won the National Book Award for Nonfiction in 2010. And while the two have crossed paths throughout the years—they sang together at Young’s Bridge Benefit concert in 1996, and they’ll join forces this fall for a tour we (and, we hope, they) are code-naming the Crazy Horses Tour…

Links to various ereader services included. Select the one which is relevant to you. I went the google play route since I had an account already set up.
Neil’s all over the map in this exerpt. But it’s nice to experience his “voice” over many topics we have come to be familiar with.

PEOPLE: Neil Young to speak at book convention
Saturday, March 24, 2012
NEW YORK — Neil Young has a special gig in New York City this June at the annual publishing convention, BookExpo America.
The convention’s organizers said the rock star will speak June 6 about his upcoming memoir, “Waging Heavy Peace,” scheduled to come out this fall. Young, 66, is known for such songs as “Heart of Gold,” “Southern Man” and “Rockin’ in the Free World.”
He will speak on stage at the Jacob Javits Center with an interviewer to be named later. One possibility: Stephen Colbert, who has interviewed Young on his Comedy Central show and is already a featured speaker at BookExpo.
