Seems like its around $20 online. Any cheaper used copies through the club? I'm interested in picking one up. Thx. | ||

Not to take credit away from Walter, he wrote it all. I proofed it and rewrote what needed to be redone since I was there and he wasn't. We spent alot of time discussing things before hand too. He was a real easy guy to work with and he had no ego problems with whatever I changed. It was a fun project to do. | ||

It's a great book and a must for Ovation completeists. | ||
