rar Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Just thought I'd let fellow Fab Flat-top fans know that I got word from Eldon Whitford through a mutual friend a couple of weeks ago -- hey, I've been busy, okay?! -- that the projected release date of 1 Nov for the updated edition of Gibson's Fabulous Flat-tops is for real. There could be delays in printing or whatever, but the completed manuscript was at the publishers and everything was on track. As someone who's had this book on pre-order for years (except for a brief period when the thing was delayed for so long Amazon canceled my pre-order and wouldn't let me re-pre-order for awhile), I'm really looking forward to finally seeing it! -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Bob, I've made an inquiry to see if we can get Eldon to the Homecoming in June and autograph the books for those who attend. Will let you know if it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J185-4Me Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Is there a less-known Steve Earl who penned the foreword in this latest version of the Fab Book? The only Gibson aficianado of fame of whom I am aware is the man from Copperhead Road, Mr. Earle! (And apparently, I missed him by a few hours this summer at a Music Store that many of you know and have spent quality time in...) Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksdaddy Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 C'mon gents -- be patient! I burst into my Dr's office the other day and told him I thought I was shrinking. He said he was busy with others and I should just go sit down and be a little patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
