I tried to buy it and it said "Out of stock" -- are the preorders sold out already?
seriously, is this just ONE poem? it's costing me 40 euros to have this sent to Norway. I know it's a fundraiser and that proceeds go to helping the homeless, but I think that pretty crazy for like, 8 pages?
Same to Holland: € 40.
US copies are sold out. So Americans can buy it in Europe and pay $ 75 I believe. I give to the Russian woman who sells the Homeless newspaper at the local supermarket.

I called Kings Road yesterday before placing my Europe order and they told me that they sold out the US stock. They said that given the demand they were considering doing a second edition but nothing confirmed and if I wanted one the only option was to buy from Kings Rd overseas (which apparently has their own allocation)
They just listed 2nd Edition is available at US Kings Merch
Second edition is available now.

it is like spending money for something else.. BUT you get something great for it!
same to switzerland: 40 euro..
I wanted to buy a 1st edition for a gift. Does anyone want to sell?
i have one-second edition. ordered it as soon as it was announced that they were available for pre-sale. it's not just the fact that it's an origional poem by tom waits. it's not just the fact that it's for a good cause. it's both. i'm a huge fan of waits, and how often does somebody like him release a published poem? someday, it will have more than just sentimental value, and i'll make the $31.54 back. it's one of 1,000 copies printed. it's a great poem, too. i'd love to hear him read it...wonder if an mp3 version will be released...hmm. anybody wanna bid on my copy?
I know this is super old but was wondering if anyone wants to buy a first edition in mint, never opened condition in a frame. if not where can i sell it
