Willie G. Moseley Posted October 25, 2025 Posted October 25, 2025 I was really gratified to have been able to schmooze in person at the Mesquite show with numerous folks who participate in this forum. The reception to THUNDER OUT OF TEXAS: The Illustrated History of Robin Guitars (including sales) was also gratifying. I did bring some copies home, and if anyone wants a signed edition, please PM me or email me at willie@vintageguitar.com. Thanks in advance. Here's Ram Tuli of Phoenix, co-author of the Vintage Guitar Price Guide, along with some mystery tramp with a bad back who's three quarters of a century old. 8 Quote
Dana_V Posted October 28, 2025 Posted October 28, 2025 It was great to meet you at the show! Really enjoying the book! Quote
Willie G. Moseley Posted October 28, 2025 Author Posted October 28, 2025 Now the reviews are starting to come in, and the first one from Houston is positive, and I don't think it has a paywall (yet) so try this link: https://www.houstonpress.com/music/robin-guitars-immortalized-in-new-book/ 3 2 Quote
The Shark Posted November 10, 2025 Posted November 10, 2025 I received my autographed copy from Willie late last week. It's just fantastic. So much info that I didn't know. Five of my guitars are in the hundreds pictured in the book. Everyone that's a Robin fan needs this book. You can get it from Willie at willie@vintageguitar.com. He can autograph those. You can also buy it on Amazon. Every guitarist's library should include this book! 5 Quote
hamerhead Posted December 14, 2025 Posted December 14, 2025 About 1/2 way through, learned a bunch and now really want a Robin. Dammit, Willie! Great read! 1 2 Quote
hamerhead Posted December 20, 2025 Posted December 20, 2025 (edited) Finished! I knew of Robin but nothing about them. Great (and sometimes sad) story. Very cool to learn about the role several HFCers had. Well done, Willie! ETA: If there are any guitarists in your sphere, they NEED this book. It would make a great Christmas gift! Pay up, Willie!
