spectoremg Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Give Geddy a break; his band folded and Yes wouldn't give him a permanent gig, he's gotta make a crust somehow. Quote

toneknob Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 I too am a massively smug £18.59 early adopter. Might not be here in time for someone to buy it off me to give back as a Christmas present. Luckily I've got a birthday in mid-January 2 Quote

Bassassin Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Quite looking forward to my 18 quid pre-order. Assuming it ever turns up - I seem to get a couple of revised/delayed release emails every week... 1 Quote
jezzaboy Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I am also a jammy bugger having pre ordered at the original price. I don`t think I would have paid £50 for it. Still, Bernie Marsden brought out another book featuring his guitars and the cheapest edition is £99 and the most expensive is £999! There is a interview with Ged in this months Classic Rock mag about the book and other things. Quote
Bassassin Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Wonder if it's possible to change the quantity in my order & buy 10 copies at £18... ... ... ... Then sell them here for £40 a pop. 2 Quote

Bassassin Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Great timing - going to be away until next week. I'm sure it'll be fine left in next door's bin! Quote
Urban Bassman Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) My copy arrived this morning...weighs about the same as his 72 Jazz... Only dipped in so far but it's nicely bound and well put together...gonna love going through it😊 Edited December 18, 2018 by Urban Bassman Typo 1 Quote

I have a Visa debit card for online buying and payment of bills etc. I only put money into it just before buying something and only enough to cover that. If it ever gets hacked they won't get more than $5 Quote
dmccombe7 Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I cancelled my pre-order about a month ago as started to begrudge paying £40 for a book. I might regret that but will wait and see what the comments are like and if its actually worthwhile buying. Dave Quote
Geddys nose Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Stunning book, Bass porn at its best, If you like bass you need this. I was a early order but I would pay the full price. Quote
wateroftyne Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 It's here! I can't open the bugger 'till Christmas day, though. FWIW, it's massive, and heavy - a proper coffee-table book. If I had paid the full 50 quid for it, it at least feels like it's worth it. 2 Quote
visog Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 Not so interested in the pics, more his prose? Wry? Witty? Factual? Less verbose than his drummer? What's it like? P.S. Presumably pages 2-400 are him ragging on his RIck? Quote
NancyJohnson Posted December 18, 2018 Posted December 18, 2018 I had a quick look when I got home. Well worth the sub-£20 I paid through Amazon's pre-order. The cover price is $75. Woop. Quote

And it was waiting but Mrs_the_gut robbed it before I got chance to have a look claiming it is a Christmas present so I have to wait. Bah humbug. 1 Quote
