Hi all, I have a friend that would really like to get a copy himself of "the book". He had surfed the web and found almost nothing. Does someone have an extra copy that would get part of ?
Thanks
Riccardo

The (ex) Ovation distributor in Australia had a few copies. Most Aussie members jumped on one each. I have a vague recollection that AJ bought all the remaining stock. He may have a spare if you ask nicely.

Warning: there have only ever been three Ovations that have gone into AJ's apartment and come out: Two belonged to Muzz and one belonged to me.

As of late these books have been holding their value better the the guitars they are written about.

I can't believe the prices on these - especially the hardcovers. I paid $9.50 for my softcover about two years ago on Amazon.

I'm sure the activity of this board has had nothing to do with the upsurge in prices... :rolleyes:

I'm sad to say that I had one a few years ago and my wife threw it out.

Yes, I have filed the paperwork.

I lucked into three new copies a while back. I kept one and sold the others to OFC'ers.

It's weird how these things crop up occasionally.

The price of this book is amazing. I got mine (soft cover) from the UK beginning of this year for 14 euro delivered !! Sure that 90$ to 230$ really sucks. However I'll pass the infos. If someone have a chip extra copy and the will to sell it, just let me know. Thanks everybody.
