I'm really impressed!!!! What a book!!!! I'm sitting here at work reading through the first part of the book(before the lighthouse are featured) and really am impressed with it so far. It's slow at work and the company I work for has started their Christmas shutdown but there are a few diehards that will work the whole day so it's a perfect time to read the book.

Since this is a Sunday and Christmas Eve, I doubt that I will see my new Collector's Guide before Christmas. Not a bad thing but it would have been nice to see the fruit of Paul and John's great work like many of you.

My Collectors Guide arrived this week, and all I can say is WOW I'm hardly able to put it down. Congratulations John, Paul, and all the others involved in putting this together. Great Job!! I think I may have to purchase a second copy, so that I'll have a 'mint' version to save, along with this one which will certainly end up dog eared due to overuse. Thanks to all for this outstanding effort. Roger

Thanks, Roger.
Harry Hine tells me his copy is already dog-earred from all the use he gets of it as he reviews past pieces in anticipation of future ones.
My apologies to the people who are still awaiting their complimentary copies. HL will be open between the holidays and I'll see if they can't be shipped next week with the bookplate and my note.

I picked mine up the day before the blizzard hit so I had plenty to read between shovel sessions. 28" of snow, 50 mph wind gusts, 5' drifts, etc., a typical late fall day in CO.

Daniel (and others)...
Getting personalized notes and signed bookplates along with names and addresses to HL and my physical move to a new location all were interferances, Daniel.
I wasn't able to commandeer the 40 copies that came just in time for the Regional.

I noticed that there is a listing missing. I was looking for the Rockland Breakwater Christmas Ornament, and its not listed. Are there certain items not listed, or just a mistake.
Regardless, i absolutely love the book. It's a wonderful read for the collector.

John/Paul - the book is terrific. I read it from cover to cover last Friday and enjoyed everything about it, especially the history on Bill and Nancy. Daniels story on getting started was also excellent.
While glancing over the pictures I noticed on Cape Hatteras that the picture of Cape Hatteras Mold 1 was also used for the Cape Hatteras GLOW. Not a problem but put on Palm Pilot to correct for future editions.

Finally! My Collector's Guide has arrived along with my pair of Mackinaws! I'll probably take a quick peek through the CG later tonight. Today has been busy with other errands: had a "Health Alert" system ("I've fallen and I can't get up!")put in my elderly aunt's home, brought Dad & Ma's Christmas Gift over to them and showed them how to operate it (Keurig Gourmet Coffee System, pretty cool!), and now I'm in the middle of making a Split Pea Soup. Throw in some play time for my boys and that has taken care of most of my free time today. Bob

Still waiting for my local HL dealer to get it in. I may try Cape Annie's or Lighthouse Depot if it doesn't come in soon.

Hey, gang, I don't have my complimentary copy yet either! So we are all in the same boat! Well, not exactly, I did get the first proof - that is pretty special - of course, I was proofing! :p I told you there would be errors. There were a lot of alterations, changes, additions until the very last minute, so there was no way to keep up! I hope a lot of folks buy this fabulous guide so that HL will issue an updated one in the future. Be sure to notify JC of errors as you find them so they can be corrected. Hope there's not too many. :rolleyes:

Well I am nearly glad to hear this ... sorry Eric. But I am glad to hear I am not the only one to have delivery problems from the lighthouse depot. And nobody wants to respond to my questions either. As for the book, I am with Grace I don't have my complimentary copy yet either But I am looking forward to it A LOT !!!

Yes, I did call them. But the trouble is, they did not know what happened and needed to look into it. My trouble is, I am in the UK and calling the US is expensive, so I am reluctant to do that. Especially if I end up holding for a long time while someone invesigates only for them to come back still no wiser. And "We'll be in touch" never happens! But I don't want to turn this into a LHD moaning session. So enough of that...

I'm sure the LHD frowns on overseas calls because of the expense to them on their end. One would think such inquiries could be answered via email. Do they do such a thing? Bob

I picked up my copy on Saturday. My local HL dealer emailed me on Friday that they just came in. I started reading it as soon as I got home. Great book, very hard to put down once you start reading. John, Paul, & everyone involved did a super great job. ----------------------------------------------- A couple things I wanted to mention. *** In the "errors" section I don't see the GLOW Bolivar, NJ/TX error. *** No Christmas edition checklist in the back.

I just noticed the same thing last night as I was logging numbers in the checklists of my book. I had to double check a couple times, but I couldn't find a checklist for the Christmas pieces either.
Congratulations to everyone who contributed to the book though. It is a fantastic work of art!!!

Margret,
"800" numbers to US are toll calls from England?
Sandy
P.S. Waiting on two LLOMs to arrive here (hopefully this week) at which time I will ship the four from here to you. Will let you know when they leave here.

I purchased two copies -- one for myself and one for my brother and his wife. Well worth the price.
They received their copy last Friday. Good thing, because on Saturday they were leaving for Florida and then on to a cruise ship from Florida to take them through the Panama Canal. (Not one of my favorite destinations -- the Panama Canal, that is.)
They called me while on their way to Florida. My brother was driving and his wife was reading the Guide. So timing wise, everything worked out perfectly.
