The Godfather is making you an offer you can't refuse!! You may be aware of Mike Orr & Shane Speal's book "Handmade Music Factory" which was recently published. It's the ideal Christmas present for any fan of cigar box guitars and home-grown handmade instruments....drop some broad hints to your nearest and dearest, or just treat yourself!
It's normally $22.95 plus $12.95 postage from the USA, which works out at £25.50. I am presently taking orders for this fantastic publication at the great price of just £14.99 plus £2.75 post and pack for UK residents, which is a massive 30% saving on the US import price. The very first UK delivery is expected late November/early December, so just right for Christmas. Drop me a message to reserve your copy, and I'll invoice you when they are ready to go out to you - payment by PayPal, bank transfer or steam powered cheque or postal order.
From the rank beginner to the hardened pro builder, this book is a great source of ideas and inspiration - guitars, stompbox, diddley bow, washtub bass, amps, wiring and loads more, plus a useful appendix section that includes plans, template and fret spacings. It's beautifully laid out and presented, with stunning photos and some very useful and clear "how to do it" step-by-step photo sequences. 160 pages, full colour, softback. This publication definitely belongs on the bookshelf of everyone who has an interest in cigarbox guitars.

Don’t beat yourself up mate, it’s not your fault that others are being ambitious about promising what they could do re delivery. It is nice to be kept informed tho.
cheers
Hi John,
I agree with Phillip, its not your fault
. We have been let down by the publishers, we do not hold you responsible, you have done all you can do on our behalf. And PLEASE enjoy your Christmas Season.....all our Best Wishes....

Maybe Santa thinks we've all been bad boys. No worries John, presumably they will come eventually so when the effects of Christmas has worn off and we're looking at two months of bleakness, we will have something to look forward to.
If it wasn't the publishers the post office would have messed up the delivery anyhow... Have a great Xmas John and we'll look forward to reading it in the new year some time.
Hi good people, the books have arrived in the UK! They won't be at the publisher's distribution warehouse until Friday, and they will come out to me in due course. I'm therefore expecting them after Christmas, but I won't ask for any payment until they are actually sitting here in my office, as I'm a bit wary of all this delay now. Sincere apologies to those of you who wanted this for Christmas, but as I hope you'll appreciate, I was being rather pushy with the publishers and distributors and perhaps over-optimistic that they might want to shift some stuff before the festive season...but I suppose it's all small fry to them.
Anyhow, I'll keep you posted...in the meantime, have yourselves a merry little Christmas....
Hi John,
A belated Christmas box or A happy New Year Prezzie, thank you for your efforts. Please have an excellant Merry and Bright Christmas yourself.

Merry Xmas to you and all the CBGer's out there.
Good news John, looking forward to getting it, just let me know when you want the money.
Hi Guys 'n' gals...just had a message from the publishers..the books are in transit from their UK warehouse to my door. As soon as I have them actually stacked in my office I'll be in touch with everyone who's reserved a copy to sort out payment and then I'll start sending them out...and not before time too!!! Don't worry if you haven't ordered one yet, I'll be getting another consignment very shortly. John.
Great news....thanks for your efforts John.
