Just ordered a copy -

Note to US supporters - the CAD prices are almost a third higher than what you will pay in US dollars - the book, priced $65 CAD, is about $49 US. Well worth ordering one of the higher level packages. Wish I'd known before paying, but keep that in mind!

There are some interesting packages there. Not to mention how much of a discount you get on ordering a guitar from Grit!

Today, 1 USD gets you 1.37 CDN.

Been around that mark for a few months and will stay there for awhile more yet. Get your Canadian made guitars while you can! Also, no duty when shipped to the USA because of NAFTA.

Here's a sneak peak at the first draft of the cover! (I hope I've uploaded it correctly...If not, stay tuned.)

Sorry, but since I don't use flickr or other photo sites, I seem to be stymied on getting an image up. I welcome an assist!
Here's the link to my Indiegogo campaign, and the cover art can be seen on the most recent update.

Hi Grit,

You can sign up to photobucket for free. Load the photo then click on it. There are several options on the right hand side. Put your cursor over the IMG code, it should then say copied. Paste into your post.

Thanks to all who contributed! The Indiegogo campaign was more successful than I expected, even though I didn't actually hit my very ambitious goal. Still, the campaign grossed almost $24,000. (Canadian). Amazing.
The book will be published in October. I am just now reviewing the rough page layouts and writing all the photo captions.
The very first public reveal of the book will be at the Holy Grail Guitar Show in Berlin, October 8-9. It's a terrific show. Maybe I'll see some of you there?
Cheers, Grit

I got home from work today and I had a FedEx delivery sticker on my door. Hmmmm could it be? I have to wait until tomorrow.

Go Blue Jays
