See, I think they figured we would all get nice and obsessed, memorizing the whereabouts of all the trivial details located in the book.

I remember exactly where my favorites are in that book!

on pre-order since April,i just got a third email from Amazon that the estimate arrival date is now Febuary 2010.

They were taking orders that long ago? Tony was still working on the book until 8 weeks ago.

Did he scrap the project? I've grown tired of receiving the Amazon delay notifications on the Bacon 12 string book. I hope it's worthwhile when it comes out, if it does.

More likely he finished the project!

It’s finished.

He contacted me for the images I have of McGuinn’s 1966 370-12, and a few others. I also helped with the proofreading, as I did with his first one way back when.

I find I turn to the Bacon book more than the Smith, but if your going to buy more than one vintage Ric, both are a must.

But in the last year, I turn to the Registry the most. Once you test all the search and sort features, it's becomes quick and easy to use. Just fantastic, good work Gil!
