You guys could go to the Strawberry Festival.

Juuuuuuusssstt missed it - last weekend!

Picking up my copy tomorrow!

Exxxxxxxcellent! Just make sure it has that peachy/reddish cover, not the blue first edition.

Time to update your avatar Paul!

Yeah, update coming. I'd like to get my author copies soon, too. Publisher seems to be a little slow on the uptake. Got an email from them the other day wanting me to confirm my shipping address. Guess they lost it from four years ago.

They probably just want to confirm it has not changed since then.

Yep, but I would have liked to have had them shipped a lot sooner. Readers are getting their copies already. I've sent them the comp list, but don't know how soon they'll ship those.

Picked up my copy yesterday. It will look nice next to the 1st edition on the shelf. Paul, I may need to swing by the "Burg" to have you sign this copy, too.

Great work, again! This is the comprehensive, exhaustive and definitive guide to the Rick bass. What a labor of love!

Thank you, Jay! Sure. PM me when you think you might be up this way. I don't have much in the bass collection anymore, so not much to show, but we can meet for a beer or coffee sometime.

I see that Amazon has the 2nd edition book marked down a few bucks which follows prior experience. Also got my first review of the new book, too! Five stars!

And I STILL don't have a copy.

You're not alone (And i did order one). (Maybe because I'm in Europe. Expected 21/22 july amazon.de says.)

For sure! I'll bring along my 4003 Noir for your inspection and approval.

Just got my copies! Looks like everything ended up in the right places. Definitely heftier feel to it!

Good news Paul. Great to know they're shipping. My pre-order from Amazon says August 1.

Mine shipped and is due Monday!
