SOLD OUT

Dang it !! Just found out about this book today, from an ad posted last week. It was privately published, with a pre-order deadline of 11-14-14. We are @#$& out of luck on this, unless there is a subsequent small re-printing, which is hinted at in this ad (we can get on an email notification list).

Would love to have it and have sent my E-Mail for reprinting notification if it occurs. Must admit though, it's the subsequent volumes that have even more appeal. I WILL NOT MISS THESE!

BREAKING NEWS: Received an email last night that there is one last chance to get a copy of this first printing of Vol 1. I ordered my copy pronto, then asked Bruce at Not Lame Media if I could share this info with you, and he said yes. So here are the details, YOU MUST ORDER BEFORE THIS FRIDAY, DECEMBER 5th:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GREAT News on the "POWER POP HEROES - Volume 1" book! (You can get a copy if you act fast...link is below)

Since the demand for the book was so overwhelming (over 800 copies sold), it has resulted in a bit of overwhelm with processing orders. The last order to the printer was able to be extended, as a result of the flood of orders. This benefits you, if you still want to order a copy.

The link below shows the book being sold out, which it is - HOWEVER, since you asked to be notified of any future repressing, you have the opportunity to get an order for this last print run. You *can* order from this link. (Note: this status is not being promoted to anyone except the people like yourself who expressed interest in a future re-printing)

You MUST order before this Friday, December 5th. If you order, please understand your book will not ship until December 18th-19th - that is a guestimate, though a good one. Please understant that if you want this to be a Christmas gift for someone, it will be too late to get to them.

Here is the link:

http://popgeek.highwire.com/product/boo ... s-volume-1

Again, if you are interested in getting a copy of the book, please place you order by this coming Friday, December 5th.

Thanks!
Bruce Brodeen

As if on cue, I got an email a few minutes ago saying it should be mailed out by Wednesday (there were some delays with the printer on the last part of the order).

Same with me Jay. The E-Mail from Bruce B. stated our books are on the way so that's great!

Good news Jay. I'll expect mine any time now. Meanwhile, I can take solace in the delivery of the deluxe edition of ABBA's Gracias Por La Musica, which arrived today. :yay:
