Just for completeness, I realise that these two images are floating about on Facebook but not here. This last one is typical of National Valco's 1950s output. It is a 1953 Triple neck console. (looks more like a board game than an instrument!!)

I was talking to Mark this morning and his wonderful new book, 'Palm Trees, Senoritas & Rocket Ships!', is currently being printed and he is very happy with the results. 423 pages is a lot of ink and paper! Shine On Michael

Hi there !
Is this book now ready for purchase ? My wife is desperate for something nice to buy me for my birthday (22nd Feb) - and this would fit the bill perfectly.
Thanks !

Hi Snakehips/Deuce/Wolvoboy, I understand your frustration. It seems like an age for me too! Let me try and give you some reassurance. Over the past few weeks, I have proofed and checked every bit of the 35 plates and am really happy with the finished result. To be honest, I think the printed thing will be much better than my expectations. The book is now finally complete. All 2500 copies are printed and stiched together. They are just waiting for covers. These have to be gloss laminated and then assembled with the book inners. I am checking first copies (hopefully) towards the end of this week. So hang in there guys! By the way, here is a pic of piles of proof sheets!!
