The Book has arrived downunder!
Thanks for including some of my photos Paul.
The family tree at the end is fantastic.

I was expecting delivery on Monday but I've just received notification from Amazon UK that delivery has been put back until 23 August.
At this rate, I'm tempted to buy another copy from Amazon's US store as they have them in stock.

Got my copy of "The Book" a few days ago. Thanks Paul! I've been so busy with the new job, band and everything right now that I've barely had time to look at it. I did however find 6 of my basses, past and present in it! My "4008CS" custom on page 136 however, actually started out life as a 1997 4003MG, not a V63. Notice also that it has 21 frets, which necessitated a new fretboard.

Received my copy today and can hardly wait to start my journey through it.
First glance, wow very impressive and detailed.
Many years of research there and a huge credit to you Paul.

I got my comp copy yesterday...
Truly excellent!
A note on the production 4008 basses.
Although it is safe to presume earlier ones had the 3 piece neck, the early 80s ones like the one pictured (mine) does indeed have a two piece neck to match its early 4003 style truss rods...
The pick guard remains as a one piece though.
The neck joint could be a weak link however mine is well behaved..
The book however should be banned as it promoted RAS in a bad way....
