Cool! Looks like they're adding $3 to the retail price as I suspected. Yep, 160 pages. If the official date of publication is correct, that's my 30th wedding anniversary, 7/11! How neat!
I just recently got my 50th review on Amazon, another milestone: 45 five-star, two four-star, two three-star, and the one malcontent with one-star.

I'm looking forward to the 2nd edition Paul.. my 30th anniversary is on 7/11 as well . I still have the 4001C64S that is in your book and again thanks for getting me in touch with the guy that originally bought it from you.

As to the malcontent, at least he gave you 1 star!

We did a little Milwaukee confluence in May 2006, another in June 2011, and then the book-release party in July 2013. Hard to believe it was four years ago now!

Re: 2nd Edition progress
Got word from the publisher (Hal-Leonard Books) that the book is due in their warehouse on July 5. I should get my copy about then, I think. Looks like the Amazon publication date is just about right. Thanks, everyone, for your patience!

Congrats, Paul!
Can't wait to see it!

Re: 2nd Edition progress
congratulations Paul! Can't wait. Might need to get it for the simple fact that I haven't found the first edition from my move yet.... kind of like a perv being cut off from his porn!

Re: 2nd Edition progress
Looking forward to it, Paul. If you're going to have any type of event for the release of this new edition, please let me know. Cedarburg is a hop/skip/jump from Milwaukee.

No, no celebration this time, sorry. And I don't have the Rickenbacker National Forest to show anymore, either. Ah well, good times, good times . . . .
