The Golden Book is won
Everybody wanted it, but there could only be one winner of the Golden Book, and we’re delighted to announce it is Stephen Zawislinski of Eastpointe, Michigan, USA.
Stephen’s been a huge Dream Theater fan since 1989, and his prize is a real collector’s piece. It’s one of a very small number of special copies of the Limited Edition of Lifting Shadows produced for the Dream Theater guys’ personal collections. In addition to the Majesty symbol and Lifting Shadows title in gold blocking, the front cover also bears a special gold designation that reads “Special Presentation Edition for the members of Dream Theater”. Stephen’s copy is extra special, as it’s been signed by James LaBrie, John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung and Mike Portnoy themselves.
“I can’t believe I was picked out of so many fans to win the book”, says Stephen, who checked the result of the competition online. “I almost fell off my chair when I saw that I won. I’m looking forward to receiving the book.”
The Golden Book is currently winging its way to Stephen from publisher Essential Works‘ London office. Commiserations to those of you who didn’t win. If it’s any consolation, it’s still not too late to order a copy of the Limited Edition…
