Robin Guitars history book scheduled to debut at Mesquite guitar show in mid-October

[Willie G. Moseley]

Cross yer fingers---we're trying to get this out in time for the erstwhile-Arlington show, now being held in Mesquite. Here's the cover and a sample color page.

Rev. Gibbons was responsible for the foreword, and folks who participated included Greg Martin, Eric Johnson, Jon Butcher, Butch Walker, Fred Newell, Davi Lee HOlt, Mats Jepson, Ray Benson, and others. Also got input from a few disreputable characters who are pretty well known on this forum. Spread the word!

This has been al ong time coming but I'm pleased with how it turned out. The neurologist is still allowing me to drive, so I'm planning on peddling and signing copies at the Vintage Guitar Magazine space. Hope to see you there!

Looking forward to reading it, Willie!

Urgently required: Int'l shipping (at least within the HFC)!

Edited to add: Thanx to the neurologist, too!

^^^Not really set up to be overtly  marketing books myself except at the show. Amazon, Thriftbooks, etc. should have it. 

[kizanski]

Not yet available for pre-order in the Amazone.

UPDATE: Here's the complete cover, front and back. Was supposed to have gone to press last week. Too early on Monday to confirm. Per Kizanski's observation, it will be on pre-order status with Amazon, etc. but can also be ordered (or pre-ordered) direct from publisher, acclaimpress.com.

We're still on track for the debut signing at the Mesquite show in mid-October.

I'm starting to think he made it up.

Of course he made it up - he's the author.  Says so right on the cover there.

[Willie G. Moseley]

I'll post here when the book is available for pre-order  from the publisher. Can't do any prediction with Amazon, etc.

This is very cool, Willie G! I am friends with Greg Martin and was completely unaware he had ever played a Robin! I’ll ask Pope Bubba about it next time I see him.  This will be a good read!

Not sure how I missed this original post. But, I’m for sure in for a copy. I’ll keep checking to see when it’s available for order/pre-order. 

[Willie G. Moseley]

UPDATE: Publisher is now accepting pre-orders.  https://www.acclaimpress.com/books/thunder-out-of-texas/

If I have leftover copies of the special premier edition that we're taking to Mesquite, I'll being 'em home and peddle signed books  from here.

Already?

Wonder how many HFCers may be champing at the bit for this but can they hold out until they attend he Mesquite show next month (limited edition signed copies at the venue;  I'll be at the show both days)

Bezos has no shortage of detractors but Amazon rules.

I am waiting for Willie's leftovers.

I’m planning to be at the Mesquite show, look forward to stopping by the booth and meeting you, Willie. And getting a signed copy of the book.
