[Harp-L] Harmonica for Dummies -- w-CD

[Philharpn@xxxxxxx]

Saw a copy of Winslow Yerxa's "Harmonica for Dummies"   ($21.99 list) in 
Border's bookstore in Rochester Hills, Mich. yesterday.

Today I received my copy from Amazon. (ordered Aug. 31).

By recent count (as I recall) there are 1,800 members on the Harp List.

If everybody on the list bought a copy of this book (and the next harp book 
published etc.), this would show the publishers that there is indeed a market 
for harmonica books.

Buy it where you want. If your shop bookstores, and your store doesn't have 
one, order. This may prompt the store to order an extra copy for the shelves. 
And the more books on the shelves, the more likely newbies will pick up on it.

Now if you pick up the book and flip though the pages and conclude: "Jeeze, I 
know all of this stuff," and put it back you are defeating the purpose. Buy 
it anyway. And the next time somebody approaches you as a harmonica player and 
starts asking questions, pull out the book and flip to the appropriate page to 
answer their questions. Or loan the book to them.   At $20 it's about the 
price of a harp today.
