Amen!!! Lets promote this book - in any and every way we can. I'm sure this publicity on HARP-L will sell a few copies. We intend to promote it in our harmonica club newsletter, my co-editor has written an article to appear in our November issue. With all due respect to Richard Farrell (my very good friend) and others, like Kevin's Harps, etc., I think we would be doing more for the book by buying it at a book store. If they see interest they will order more. "H, H and HB" has been seen at Border's (I don't know if that's a chain or not) in Columbus. I'm going to check Little Professor and others this weekend. How about reporting to HARP-L if you see the book for sale. Another thing I plan to do is make every Columbus music store aware of the book. Why not do this in your area too? Send a note to the music stores with info. on where their customers could get the book. Or better yet, stop in with a copy under your arm. Wouldn't it be great if they made it into a movie - it could happen. Jack Ely - Editor, Harmonica Dispatch 12-Nov-1993
