Location: Upper Left USA | That's the hardcover though, must be limited in numbers.
And to think I've already given away three of the softcovers with a bunch of scribbling in them... |

Location: Tennessee | I have one in basically mint condition. Then I got another one that's got some dude's scribbling on the inside ... I'll just have to keep that one for myself since I've heard that ruins the value. |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Just yesterday I bought the last one available from the Australian distributor.
I found out a couple of weeks ago from my mate at my local guitar store that Ovation is about to be distributed by another company here, I asked him to see if there were any more books left.

At one time, I had 3 hard cover copies. I kept the one with the scribling and gave away the other two. Damn..... |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Mine has scribbling from Vince Gill.
He said "I would have been playing Ovations for 30 years if I'd been around back then"
That scribbling probably adds to the value. |

We've already got a 'Trader' Jim. The Aussie is 'Collector' Jim. |

Just can't prise any out of his cold dead hands. Actually, he's more than generous with his collection. Loans them to members all over the USA before he's even played them himself.
Heck, I've had one of his UKII's for nearly a year now. Maybe he's forgotten about it??? :rolleyes: |
