[Harp-L] Harmonica sur Cher Coffee Table Book

["Ben FELTEN [ML]" <lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In order to help kickstart the financing of the next edition of the 
*Harmonica Sur Cher <http://www.harmonicasurcher.com>* festival the 
festival organisers have decided to release a book collecting the best 
pictures made by professional photographers over the years at the 
festival. This book not only documents the on-stage performances and the 
artists, but it also tracks what happens in the streets, in the bars, 
during breaks, masterclasses, long nights of jamming. It features the 
famous and the unknown, the great multitude that is gathered every year 
during the Ascenscion week-end in St Aignan for one reason only: their 
love of the harmonica.

I have already ordered my copy, and I have seen some of the proofs and 
it looks like it will be an awesome book. And yes, this is Jason Ricci 
on the cover. He didn't write fondly about France after that event, but 
he is remembered very fondly by the festival organisers and attendees 
alike. "The closest thing to seeing Jim Morrison alive" is how someone 
put it to me after that night.

I just wanted you to be aware of the existence of the book. The book 
itself costs 30 EUR, and all of that money will go to pre-financing the 
next edition of the festival. If you live in France, you can order the 
book *here <http://www.harmonicasurcher.com/>* and either pick it up 
when you come to the Festival or get it shipped out to you. If you live 
abroad it's the same, but the cost of shipping will set you back some... 
The organisers told me that they will take Paypal, so that's something 
at least. For more specific information, contact Christophe at 
*info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx*.
