Thanks Bob,

I have asked the seller if he will ship to Canada. No response yet.

Damn. Someone bought it. I was gonna buy it and send it to you.

The seller did not respond at all, but thanks Bob, for considering doing that for me.

I very much appreciate the thought.

There's been literally dozens on ebay over the past few months. I bought mine at a local store because I had a gift certificate.
It's a good book, but there is so much more info out there about the oddities that no one book can cover it all.
BTW, Coles (no affiliation!) can order the book. Mine took a little over a week to arrive.

If you don't have any luck I can bring mine with me, Brian.

I'm sure you'll pick one up without any problems - I got both my Rickenbacker books (I have the Bacon and Day one also) from the UK on ebay.

Thanks guys,

I found out last night that I can buy a new one for $22.00 from Amazon.com, so that's what I will do.

That's what I said above.
And with the shipping that the eBay guy is probably gonna charge, a brand NEW copy from "A" ($22*) will probably be about the same price as a USED copy from eBay.

* I know Amazon also charges shipping. But (a) they charge a reasonable real price for shipping like $3 or so (not the made-up "shipping and handling" that some web places charge) and (b) there's gotta be some CD or book you wanted to buy to get the total over $25 and get FREE shipping.

Thanks Mark

That's a great idea.
