"level and attack" book review?

Post by fernieite »

Hi guys,

I've searched for any threads on this book, but to no avail. For those of you who have the book, what's your opinion about it? :coffee:

I didnt have the funds when it came out, but I just bought one from a guy on Reverb. (#219) it's in the mail. :tu:

It's great, I love it. It's very high quality. Superb pics of historical tonebenders and great interviews. Next best thing to spending thousands of dollars on an original tonebender.

Cool, sounds great! Looking forward to it. :badlove:

Just curious: out of the 1100 or so members on this forum - How many have a copy? There were only 500 printed, so that's roughly 1 out of every two of us! :badteeth:

Yeah, true that. 75 Pounds or $100 (US) is quite expensive. As I said, I didn't have the funds when they were originally for sale a year or so ago.

It's a very niche market for this sort of thing, but I'd imagine many on this forum (especially) would be in this category.

Any other reviews?

Great book: well researched, fun interviews, and killer photos. If you're into fuzz you need it. Not cheap to be sure but everything about it screams quality.

I only just snuck in when there were a few left and got 400 and something... as soon as it arrived and I opened it I was so stoked I hadn't missed out! A really well done publication, great stories and photos, and follows the whole Tone Bender lineage in great detail. Congrats on managing to snag one

I bought my book in London personally from Ant and it’s fantastic .
It was expensive but I figured I was in London and shipping to Australia would have cost almost what the book itself cost .
I took the opportunity to buy a Son of green bastard and a Dog Mk 1 also . Love them all but a special shout to the wonders of the son of a green bastard .
