The first batch is on it's way.
Man, shipping books is hard work! At least it is when you're stuck with PostNL (dutch postal services)... :sad:

More elbow grease, Rob.

And I want to say this again:

I think you did and do a great job. You single handedly (with a tiny bit of help, here and there) made this book, without a publisher or distributor and I think you do more for awareness of Gibson basses than Gibson ever did themselves. After fifteen years on forums, reading and learning about basses, this book is here and I hope it creates a lot of awareness for and interest in Gibson basses. I think people at Gibson don't even know what they made in the past. I know a lot of Gibson people who don't. T\It's the future standard work for Gibson Basses! Paul D. Boyer made the Rickenbacker Book, James Whyte Black and Albert Molinaro made the Fender bass illustrated history.  The big three are complete. Steve Russell and Nick Wass made the 500/1 book. To end with my favourite subject, myself, I guess I have to start making the Warwick Bass Book now! ;)

I'm order 246. Rob are you signing each copy? I wouldn't say no to the authors signature in my copy.

The first book that I sent weren't autographed. I simply didn't think about it.
I never let anything sign for me, so I  didn't realise some of you really want someone to scribble into a brandnew book!  8)
But I guess you're never too old to learn. I will stain the books from now on, if you insist, haha.

@ Chris: Thank you! You've been a great help.
(@ Uwe: Thank you too. Without you I couldn't have made the book!)
