The Wait Is Over - At Long Last

I am proud to announce that The Mellotron Book is officially available (I received my copies earlier today). Those of you who have it on back-order should be receiving it shortly. Forewords by Pinder & Wakeman, Intro by me, History, Principle, Models, Pics (including SAMWIT), Interviews (even including Mikhail Dickersonovitch), and Appendices. Enjoy!

A few comments after first perusal of the finished product:
1. I was disappointed that none of the pics in Chapter 4 were in color (where I was led to believe otherwise).
2. Jerry K - My text listed your creation as the JK-MK6, not VI.
3. Mark Glinsky - My text had your name spelled correctly; sorry for "Glinsk"
4. I noticed a few other liberties taken by the publisher with the general text. Write to them, not me please.

Hello All, I wish to re-iterate here that the JK-MK6 is not to be
confused with the official Mellotron MK-VI as built by Mellotron.Com .
To avoid any legalities,I shall contact the book publisher straightaway.
My apologies to DK and MR..... Jerry Korb

JK-MK6/001 not "VI"

Hi, Jerry, et al,

Let me clarify: The text I sent to the publisher was very specific in delineating the MkVI from the JK-MK6, and this continued to be reflected in the text draft they sent me. In the Models chapter, someone somewhere along the line at the 11th hour changed the JK-MK6 to JK-MK VI. In the Pictures chapter, it is correctly identified. I have already sent DK email clarifying that the fuck-up is the publisher's, not mine.

Jeez, does Rick go through this same shit with his novels?
