Location: Seoul, Korea | Jerome, it seems I am coming always at the backend of all the excitement. Are there any copies available still? I have not seen your work but it must be something great when the discriminating OFC members are going superlative on it. Well done! Simon |

In addition to myself, my wife (Suzie) is touched by Jerome's kindness and his skill/dedication.
This will be treasured...
On the back cover, Jerome says:
"It is also my tribute to C.H. Kaman and his son Bill and to all of the talented people from the Factory in New Hartford/CT for making among the best and most innovative guitars in the world!!"
Well said... |

Location: Tennessee | I received the soft cover edition in the mail today. Thank you Jerome for the honor of having one of these ... it is a treasure. I spent a couple of hours going through all the different ads (from around the world!) I will be spending many more hours with it. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Received mine yesterday as well. Not only does this provide a history of the models through the advertising medium, it gives a glimpse of pop culture over several decades. Extremely nice work, Jerome. This is an amazing collection of original ads for Ovation, and we're honored that you have shared it with us through this book. Thanks so much. |

Location: Paris/France | Hi,
I'm glad that some of you already get their copy.
They have been shipped last Monday and the first was arrived on Wednesday in USA.
2 days from France to USA is a record!!
The last copies should be arrived today or next week, it depends where you live.
Some of you asked for my paypal address, there's a link for making a donation at the right bottom of the main page of Ovation Tribute site.
Thanks to all of you whom already have made a donation, I greatly appreciate your help to cover the cost of the print.
I've got 2 orders more so I'll make another print because the 20 first copies are already gone.
Don't hesitate to ask if you want one, it's never too late. ;)
As this week end will be the first to be sweet and very sunny here in France since October, I will have some rest and playing guitar in my garden.
I wish you all a very nice week end.
J :) |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Got mine yesterday, Jerome. Beautiful work again. I'll figure out the Paypal thing in a week or so, after I get home from work. It's sunny and warm here, too, but I'm at the office.
Thanks. I think SWMBO is going to insist that I pay you a visit. |

It seems to be much longer to cross the Alps Mountains than to cross the ocean... :eek: :D

Location: Orlando, FL | Just got mine (lucky #7). Great work Jerome! Thanks! I'll get my paypal donation out to you.
I remember a lot of these ads, and there's a bunch I don't. It's a blast going through them all and seeing the different styles throughout the decades.
Thanks for more of your continuing hard work and devotion to all things Ovation! |
