well I have taken SNAPS of the book!
here it is!
Remember this very book is soon to be auctioned HERE. In this thread.
I have to wait a little for the dust to settle after Scalford, and get the boss' advice on how to do the finance, but this is to get you dribbling. A few people saw the real books on the day and they ARE lovely! Ask around. Rumours suggest interest will be fierce.
Watch this space.

Oooh, thanks James (if it turns up)
The book looks absolutely brilliant. I'll be buying a ticket.
A really great thing to look at later in life and think back at what a set of tossers you all are/were

That is stunning. Before the show, I very seriously considered asking John to make an extra copy, which I would happily pay for but decided that he had enough on his plate sorting what was needed for the show.
Having seen the pictures exhibited I very much regret not having spoken to him. This is a real, wonderful, memory of the show.The best hifi show in the UK today - http://www.thehifishow.com/

Great book and the person who gets it eventually will be delighted I'm sure. I too was considering asking John to quote me a price for another one but as you say concious of what he had already contributed. The wall prints for were excellent too and I did retrieve mine
(I've also got Mr Cat's and JKBMusic's to pass on).

I have the Eagles Head print and am keeping it until claimed
It is such a stunning photo that I will either pay postage to the correct owner or donate a sum to the 'wam upkeep.
Best wishes
Ian SampsonI love you. No, sorry, I missed some words out. I love it when the world shits on you. Yeah. That's the full sentence.

WHOA THERE BOYS
First, please let's have the auction. Remember that the money from the auction goes to the running costs of the Wam and will help us continue to show next year. If John makes everyone a book now...well, see below.
After that, whatever anyone wants to arrange with John S is up to them to sort out but also remember that we are making available a commercial book from Blurb for everyone who is interested (also, AFTER the auction) at a much cheaper price. OK, not hand made ofc, but decent quality.
Several points have been raised, and here are some answers:
The Prints at Scalford were on the first floor landing area, just above the reception desk. Four posters pointed the way. In size they ranged around A3 and were mounted on lightweight foam board. Each was labelled with the owners name. It looked great. You would have been proud of our efforts I think.
I did post in the thread pointing out that the pics were to be collected at the end of the show or for someone to be delegated to the task for the owner, but by 6.30pm, the boss had a pile of maybe 10 uncollected pics in the bar which he planned to take home as described elsewhere. By 7.00pm, these had all vanished. If anyone knows where they went, we'd like to know please. If they don't ever turn up....or if you
forgot to get yours, take a look at John's amazing offer of a rolled print posted to you in the thread above.
The auction will happen once we have all had time to sit down and recover. THIS WEEK without a doubt. Cheers for your patience!

I had a pal who was that patient. His idea of 'wait' was a 0.5 second pause also.
