serial Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 No-they edited out a bunch to keep it to a certain length. That's why there'll be a second one!

cynic Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Son of a....mine will also arrive a day sooner than originally posted...but that's still not till Tuesday!I gotta move to the east coast before vol II comes out
zorrow Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 You guys are getting me anxious. I pre-prdered long ago, but so far no notification whatsoever. Can't wait!
coolfeel Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Well, reading all of this makes me anxious to get my copy - sounds like it will be an awesome read, can't wait to see some of the guitars that made it in the book! I imagine I will feel like a kid again, when I visited the guitar shops, seeing and learning about all the different cool guitars...

Very well done.Steve - you have to be very proud of this. Congratulations on an incredible job.So great to hear people are enjoying the book. We did put a lot of work into it. I thought it turned out well, but it's nice to have some confirmation. The next one will let us get in all those things we couldn't work in to this one.
tomteriffic Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Dammit, Serial! Mine just came through the door. The subject matter, is (obviously) great. The writing in the bit that I've read so far seems to be on par with the subject matter. The production and presentation are top-notch and even the physical book itself has the hallmarks of a very high quality piece. And I've still got some gotta-so work to get done before I can bail and get into the book. Dammit! Big kudos to Steve, Joe and Schiffer for coming up with a book of the quality worthy of the Hamer name.

Without him, I'd just have a box or two of emails, notes and binders of catalogs collecting dust! So thrilled to have this in tangible form!
bubs_42 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Waiting for it, waiting for it. Work is super slow so I took the day off. I know that fedex is usually to me in the A.M. so today that driver will be hear on his last stop i'm sure. LOL
hamerhead Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 And THANK YOU JOE, as well. (Duh, sorry about that).I'm to page 50 or so, and it's a great read so far......

serial Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Don't be fooled by Joe's modesty-he was an integral part of the book and he secured and conducted some absolutely essential interviews and got some of the coolest guitar pics!
Hamerhack Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Got it!!!Looks great! Can't wait to get a chance to read it!I suspect that this may be "The Ultimate" GAS inducing item on earth!Thanks to all involved!
bubs_42 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 And THANK YOU JOE, as well. (Duh, sorry about that).I'm to page 50 or so, and it's a great read so far...... Man your slow!Anyway Great Job Guys!! My gas is back, too bad my money isn't. LOL I did skip forward a little to the sections on specific guitars. Like the Prototype and Phantom because I wanted to know more. Good Stuff, just awesome and I love it.

Getting a chance to talk to some of the folks integral to the company over the years (Jol, Jim Allen, Bill Kaman, et al) was one of the real pleasures of this project.

My spelling is bad but if I slightly miss a spelling this Mac sometimes fixes it but with the wrong words. I have a major complex now.
