Awesome Brian, it looks great.  Really excited for you that you have done this.  I hope it is a very successful book for you.  I will be ordering one.   Can it only be brought online from that link? or can I get it from a store somewhere?

Jan And Grah
thank you sooooo much for you interest.
its a bloody hard unforgiving thankless task writing a book.
Well the writing, i wrote 25 poems in a hour and stupidly thought i`m well on my way.
Looking back now that was the easy part,that was about 2% of what was required.
To self publish i had to learn publishing/barcodes/registration/copy right/ printing/illustration.
and now i have to learn promotion/marketing and distribution.
people ask me will i do it again?
i might climb Mt Everest naked instead,it would be far easier.

great news! awesome book!     

Music has always been my escape and my way of expressing creativity. I enjoy experimenting with different genres.Sharing knowledge and learning from this community is something I truly cherish.When I'm not playing guitar,you can find me exploring new music, attending live performances, or jamming with friends.Connect with me for chord discussions, song suggestions, or just a friendly musical chat.

Re: finally book is ready

I heard a quote on the SImpsons once - "Believe in yourself, and you can accomplish anything"; good on you for believing in yourself!!! I look forward to reading it someday ....

Cheers
