Description: Toronto: The Cumberland Press, 1988. Privately Published Limited Edition. Paperback. Illustrated by Bygott, David. Signed and numbered 74/100 by Neil Peart inside back cover. "And now it was all over. I didn't want to replay it all, or relive it again, but man- will someone hurry up and figure out a way to slow the good times down? But no- even African Time can't make a day last one minute longer." -p 201. Describes his African travel experiences during September of 1987. Neil Peart (1952-2020) was the renowned drummer and main lyricist of the internationally acclaimed Canadian rock band Rush, which he joined in 1974. He dedicated this book to his then wife Jacqueline and daughter Selena, both of whom left the world prematurely and tragically in the 1990s, causing Peart to take a prolonged timeout from his musical career. Rush tribute website Cygnus-X1 suggests this to be one of several books/travelogues authored and privately published by Peart during the 1980's, a full decade before he released his first novel. Apparently these books were all produced in very limited quantities and only gifted to friends and family, thus rarely found. 205, [5] pp. Bibliography. Occasional black and white illustrations by David Bygott. 11" x 8.5". Tight and unmarked with average wear. A sound and precious memento of the the iconic drummer known to his fans as "The Professor". ; Illustrations; 4to; Signed by Author. Good .
