In addition to the obsessively thorough discographical information the book is full of pictures, copies of handbills, bits of conversation and interviews. Thoroughly professional, top-notch production values from cover to cover. This book exemplifies "a labor of love" and would be worthy of supporting on principle alone. For those inclined, this is the real deal.dolphyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768424492405217351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-24206376817057487052023-02-01T15:14:41.637+01:002023-02-01T15:14:41.637+01:00Sample pages:

The GFM page, right now, is very simple.<br /><br />As you said, there're the quotes. They are nice, but mostly words of praise, not really helpful to objectively describe the contents. You provided a brief description (which wasn't on the GFM page), and that was already enough for me. But I'm sure some sample pages would help you selling more copies.<br /><br />There are a few other questions. Is it a professionally printed (and binded) edition, or an on-demand, (maybe) cheaper printing? Also, you say it's a "work in progress", will you update the contents? On which basis? Are the pictures B&W? All of them? A few pictures and page samples would help with some these questions.<br /><br />As I said, these are just suggestions. You put a lot of effort in the book itself, I just think it deserves more proper exposure. Maybe there are videos and updates available, as you said, but they are mostly buried in the "updates" timeline, not really promptly visible.<br /><br />Good luck, and congratulations again for the beautiful work.DRONSZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06590139556936171865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-44736207798649578502023-01-31T04:46:47.471+01:002023-01-31T04:46:47.471+01:00Sorry, I'm confused...

Same on my Facebook profile which is public and easy to find. If someone wants something extra posted here, I'm not aware of how to do that.Rick Lopez / bb10khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17265419194541351440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8357696082833015704.post-40472970557460873712023-01-30T22:48:55.515+01:002023-01-30T22:48:55.515+01:00Hi Rick, that's more a question for your GoFun...Hi Rick, that's more a question for your GoFundMe page.

Is it just a plain sessionography, or does it contain bibliographic info, as well? A few samples pages would be great. <br />I'll write him anyway.
