(And a reminder that anyone who hasn't gotten their own copy of Jerome's Ovation Tribute DVD (free!!!) should ask for one immediately before Jerome comes to his senses. Visit Jerome's site and look on the left hand margin to order your copy. DO IT NOW) |

My first words will be to apologize because I only made 15 copies of this work.
It's a little bit expensive to make such a book and my greatest wish had to have the possibility to send one to every fan but it's not possible so I'm really sorry. :(
The choices I've made are surely arbitrary but I had to make a choice.
3 of these books should be arrived at the factory, 1 stayed in France, 1 is in Germany, 2 will be in UK in the next days and the rest are or will be in USA pretty soon.
As most of you knows that my English is not very good, there's no text inside the book and these ads are just presented as a sequence of the different models and innovations developed in the 40 past years.
The final result is nice to my eyes and I'm happy that the few whom have a copy love it.
Paul is right, there is copyrights on these docs and I've never won a cent (of dollar or euros... :D ) with every project that I've done because it's my personal vision of the way to live my passion.
If it change in the future, I'll stop immediately.
I'm lucky enough to have a job, a family, a roof and finally the possibility to live this passion and to share it with great people so that's enough to my eyes.
Until it will stay as this, I'm pretty sure that Fender or KMC will let me do funny projects like this one without making me troubles (I sincerely hope so...).
My poor English, the non commercial and amateur side of my work are the best keys to open the doors of the kindness of people and it works fine since 5 years that's why I'm really lucky!!
I've got an idea in mind but I need to ask to Al and Miles before to write it here.
I hope to be back soon with a solution if this idea don't comes against the OFC rules or against the law...

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | I can't wait to hear your next idea, regardless if I am the recipient of one of these (although I secretly hope I am).
You have accomplished with OvationTribute what I had only hoped to do for the Ovation community when we started this site and my Solid Body/Storm site. I never had the time, nor is it looking like I ever will, so frankly I am your biggest fan for all the work you have done!!!!
On a side note... I don't have any problem reading your posts and emails and understanding them yet there are plenty of folks born here whose emails I have to have translated!!!! :) |

Your english is better than most and your passion and generosity exceeds all expectations.
Your site is the "Wikipedia" for everything Ovation and promotes the cause and records the history of what we all love. |

Great work!!
Not that I know about these things but, I would think that doing tributes publications like this and generating enough income to cover your costs would not upset anyone.
But what do I know, I just used to sell jet fuel? |

Thank you both!!! :)
I'm surprised that some of you are interested with this book and it's really unexpected.
I can print another bunch of 15 or 20 copies in a soft cover edition of this book whom is a little bit less expensive as the price is around 35€ (47$US) shipping included everywhere in the world.
And I can offer it to you for free!!
If you're satisfied after you get your copy, you can make a donation with Paypal if you want to help me to cover the fees of the print but it's not obligatory!!
By this way, I'm not really selling the book and I respect a little bit more the copyrights of the Ovation brand. ;)
Some guys are selling on Ebay scans of catalogs burned on CDs and they don't have as much scruples as me but I'll not change now... :D
So, I'll work tonight on a special soft cover edition of the book because it needs to be slightly redone.
The cutting of the pages is not exactly the same because of the soft cover but the final result will be very very close to the hard cover edition.
I'll order a single copy to check the quality before to make the final print so it should take 2 or 3 weeks before to get it at your door.
Just send me an email to let me know if you wants a copy and I'll do my best to ship it to you as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your support, I greatly appreciate !!!
J :)
PS: Thank you Beal for your kind words, it's much more than encouragement to my eyes!! |
