When released in November, 2006, there were 2,000 limited edition copies signed by authors Barbara McQueen and Marshall Terrill. The limited edition includes a slip cover for the book and a CD featuring audio of McQueen going over his script notes as he prepared to film Tom Horn. The CD is a unique insight into how McQueen prepared for a role and how he thought in cinematic terms. Aside from hearing the raw, natural commentary from McQueen off camera, the listener discovers how many of his ideas made it to the screen that weren't in the original screenplay. His instinct for what worked on film was incredible and usually right on. The 45-minute compact disc is just one of several hours of conversations McQueen taped in preparation for the 1980 Western.

A small quantity of the limited edition set — including book, slip cover and CD — are still available through Motorcycle Classics. Order today before they’re gone!
