Location: Simpsonville, SC | Last year lanaki and I sent out two of the books about Ovation guitars, their history, etc.
I think mine went down to Florida (Slydog or Amazingly Detached maybe?) and lanaki's was making a tour around the world.
Anyway, I was wondering if they are still in circulation or had found their way into someone's bathroon bookshelf?! |

Location: south east Michigan | It's to bad they went missing. They went through a lot of hands everyone wrote their Ovation stories inside. We had plans to do something like retire them to the Mothership after they were fill up.
I think they are sitting on the shelves of people who don't post here anymore. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Beggin, I got your's from Glen, read it, and hand delivered it to Mike (capo guy) After that, I know he sent it out, butI lost track. But it IS a good question cause the book had a bunch of other stuff that was accumulating, hopefully, for you when it got back to it's original departure point. I think Brad nailed it, the last person just took the book and forgot about it. Anybody know where they are?? |

That is unfortunate that they're gone if that is indeed the case. |

I emailed him a few times, he said he was packing it to send, then he stopped replying to my emails.
No idea what happened.
There are a few of us down here that would like to add our signatures to one of the books before returning it north of the equator. |

I would gladly contribute to $tarting another book 'world-wide tour'. I did this with three books of a political nature that can not be named here. I got feedbacks for about a year and then poof... But it was interesting in watching their journeys!
If this is to be attempted again, may I suggest that each 'forward' be posted here in a 'sticky'. That way the 'OFC hive mind' can monitor and encourage movement.
Those 'O' books that are now in the cosmos may not be ever retrieved.
Just my  . I'd consider my contribution as an appreciative 'thanx' for this site and it's members! |

Location: Simpsonville, SC | I feel / felt the same way 2iffy. Others have done this with "Tha Book" before and it always seems to bog down somewhere, but for the small price of it, around $25.00 - $30.00, it is nice to spread the O history.
muzza, Grif has posted here recently (Feb, 2008), so maybe he just forgot or is a procrastinator (like me). Hopefully he will read this post and forward the book to you, then it too can continue it's journey.
BTW: the book is "The History of the Ovation Guitar" written by: Walter Carter. A brief google search didn't reveal any that were available for sale, but maybe one will popup sometime. I know that they are out of publication.
Maybe someone else would like to offer up one that they have for a tour?!
Damon, seems you're next on tha block, Humblepie amd Pez have requested a session with it, so y'all should PM Damon67 for next availability. Enjoy it and don't forgit to PASS IT ON. :cool:

If I do get it to you first, I may have to hand deliver. That's quite a signature. |
