Rush singer/bassist Geddy Lee is set to release a new book about his famous baseball memorabilia collection.

Titled 72 Stories, the book will be published by HarperCollins on May 13, 2025.

Lee first revealed the book during an interview with the Illinois Entertainer last year, while promoting his best-selling memoir, My Effin' Life.

"I did [the] book because I have so much spare time [laughs]. It's a collection of stories from some of my favourite items in my collection," Lee explained. "[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. It's called 72 Stories From The Collection Of Geddy Lee."

Last December, Lee put a number of items from his collection up for auction, including a baseball signed by The Beatles following their concert at Shea Stadium in 1965 and a rare Babe Ruth jersey from the brief period in which he coached for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
