You've read here about the return of "For You: Original Stories and Photographs by Bruce Springsteen's Legendary Fans," publisher Lawrence Kirsch's fabulous 2007 hardcover collection of first-person Springsteen stories by his most dedicated fans -- plus more than 400 fabulous photos -- now in a brand-new second printing. And if you're a little low on cash, here's your chance to get a copy gratis! (That means free.)
Publisher Kirsch has donated a copy of the new edition for one lucky Blogness on the Edge of Town reader. And we also have copies of "Glory Days: Springsteen's Greatest Albums" by Peter Chianca (that's me!) for our second and third place winners.
But what others may want for free, you'll need to work for: To enter the contest, you'll need to share your Springsteen story -- maybe a few lines about a song or concert that helped you through a hard time, or served as the soundtrack to an important moment in your life, or maybe a story about an opportunity you had to interact with the Boss himself. Whatever Bruce tale you want to tell, do it here or in the form below by Monday, March 2, and we'll pick the winners to receive our prizes. (Please include a name and email address where we can contact you!) And of course we'll publish the winners, and some runners-up, right here on Blogness.
Good luck to our entrants! Or if you're not the kind to leave things to chance, you can always order a copy of "For You" here and "Glory Days: Springsteen's Greatest Albums" here.
