The new limited edition of The Gibson Bass Book is here

[Highlander]

what is a floppy-copy?

Senior moment may apply here, Rob, as I've gone back through the text and found no mention of a soft-back copy of it, excluding a comment about a "3rd edition"... could have sworn there was mention of that somewhere... oh well...

Ah the soft cover version.
Well I got a message from the printer today that the books are on their way from Germany to The Netherlands.
So I hope to have them available early next week

Thanks for the delivery update! We will look forward to receiving it whenever it gets here. These strange times are effecting many things that we use to take for granted......

Slowly but surely the limited edition books are starting to trickle in at addresses in the USA, Canada and Australia.
All week I've been getting emails from customers telling me their book finally turned up. 

The new soft cover edition will have to wait a bit longer.
I discarded the entire batch that was delivered from the printer's.
Too much damage and overall bad quality...

[Grog]

Mine just showed up this morning. Somewhere along the trip it took in some water. Smells pretty moldy so it likely happened a while ago. Too bad, looks like a great book!

[Basvarken]

Oh that is terrible!
I wonder if I could hold PostNL responsible?

[Basvarken]

I'll send you a new one when I get them in from the printer.

[Grog]

Rob, it wasn't your fault you did every right! Probably from sitting around due to Covid-19 delays......

I'll board my Junkers 52 with my chute if I don't get one. Watch your dams.

You'll have be  a little more patient, because your fellow countrymen from the printing company f•cked up the third run.
The books arrived last week and most of them got damaged during transport because they used flimsy cardboard boxes. Or too many books per box. The boxes were all torn.
Plus the binding machine apparently needed some attention too, as there was also damage inside the books.










After much debate I refused this batch and sent it back.
They're making a new run as we speak.

Sorry about the delivery problems.
I wanted to report that mine arrived yesterday in NYC and it looks beautiful! Thank you for this excellent work.
I'm amazed at how much is in here.

[Basvarken]

That is excellent news Paul.
Enjoy the book.
And pssst.... Check page 75

We Dutchies live below sea level in some kind of Sponge Bob World. So it isn't strange if books are wet.

And BTW thanks, Uwe! At the end of the war a big part of were I live (an area called the Wieringermeer, once a lake, now land) was flooded by you guys just to run havoc. No use for defense at all. But when the lake was made dry again, we discoverd the tulips grew better. Now we flood the tulip fields ourselves every year. But we do keep the houses dry now.
