Hopefully this book will restore my faith in the pre-order process. The last time I pre-ordered something that I saw mentioned on the Talk-Awhile forum, I got stiffed for 150 bucks....  what was that? |

Any sign of this actually turning up? Sorry to sound grumpy but I am getting a little bored now. (Okay, maybe I have missed something, in which case I apologise) |

The target date was the end of November, right? So, hopefully, in the next week.
Edit: Update: Asked the publisher. They replied "Hi Andy – very very soon. Will update some more as soon as we can!"

The first edition of 2,000 copies are signed by all of the current band members. Could it be this that's holding it up ? Can you imagnine how long it would take you to sign your name 2000 times, without resorting to a quick scribble  That's a thought - I wonder if we'll be able to identify which ones were signed first / last by the quality of the signatures  |

I think we'll be getting a warning email when it gets sent out. I know why folk are a tad impatient, though- they've got our money.  |

Well, some evidence of its physical existence as it is reviewed, not entirely favourably, in the new issue of Mojo.

I may be be totally enamoured by the Fairports' but I'm afraid Maggie is still in process of Assimilation. It may be some time before she qualifies to read the book ( though she may throw it at me!!!!) |

Not too worrying. I'm not sure the Fairports were ever big on emotions! I'll settle for the detail, though I'm still suspicious about it just being an inflated version of the Fairport Unconventional box set book. Jules |

Jules That worries me too, but I couldn't stay away from it, should it br THE Fairport book. So the sooner I can decide for myself, the better.  Just wish the shipping has begun...... |
