Sepp! This is very important! First, pull over to the side of the road and turn off the car's ignition. THEN proceed to give your attention to the book!

Re: The Book is alive!
Thanks for the concern Paul! but, my vehicle is like my office, I spend 12 hours a day in it so I need to be able to multitask. Beside, it's not like I'm reading while doing mach 2 with all the lights going!bassduke49 wrote:Sepp! This is very important! First, pull over to the side of the road and turn off the car's ignition.

Let's hope that the UK will eventually catch up with the shipping of your book Paul. Amazon UK are still quoting mid-August for delivery.
Whatever - I really hope you gain the plaudits you deserve for putting all this together¬

I received mine yesterday 6/24/13. It is superb. I'll order another to keep on the shelf, nice and minty fresh.

Re: The Book is alive!
Just got my copy in the mail and it looks beautiful. I love reading accurate information about one of my favorite subjects-Rickenbacker basses. And the photos are wonderful. Good job!

Got it and it's fantastic! Everyone I've showed it to has been spell bound by it. Very well done!
