Post by: als15 on September 28, 2012, 09:57:42 AM: Sorry: at the end, we chosen a different printing technology (offset instead of digital) and it gives better results but takes a bit longer.
I expect to have it ready in the next 10-15 days.

Post by: RayTheRat on February 27, 2013, 10:01:12 PM: My copy was waiting for me (along with Alessandro's Viotti book) when I got back from a road trip. Great stuff! I haven't had a chance to do much more than scan through it, but what I've seen is great!

Thanks,
