Very cool. Looking forward to seeing the book.

As a "contributor" let me say that I'm EXTRA excited!

Congrats Paul

Looks fantastic, Paul! Can't wait for the copy!

It looks great. When will it be available to the public?

Sweet..Good Luck

The official release date is July 9, but I think that is a "no later than" date for the book to be on the shelves. Amazon has had it on pre-published sale since last autumn. I would imagine it will be shipping to buyers by mid June or so.

I apologize if this has been asked already. Is the book hardcover or paperback?

It's "softcover" which is a sturdy paperback. The cover actually flaps over (inward) front and back which adds extra stiffness to the edge. There's a bonus foldout "tip in" at the back end of the book with a double-page graphic showing the timeline/family tree of the development of Rickenbacker basses.

Just informed today (6/13) that the book is now in the "warehouse" and that it should be distributed to stores/Amazon/etc. in the next two weeks.

Folks, if you would be so kind to let me know when you see it or when you get your copy (if you've pre-ordered it on Amazon). I'd like to know what you think of the book, too! Thanks!

I can't wait!

Exciting times Paul. You must be a happy man. Congrats!!

I know, I know, I'm a bit late to jump on the bandwagon but I just ordered my copy!! Can't wait to receive it. While I did not contribute to the project, I own a few of the instruments that are in the book!!

Well, then you did contribute to the book. It wouldn't be the same without those basses in it.

Great news! I've got a couple of 'em coming so I'll let you know when they arrive!
