The overly long title says it all and I will explain. Last year I bought the book Beatles Gear and read it cover to cover. Something I have not done in a long time. And was blown away the extensive and exhaustive coverage of the instruments they used. It also detailed how they utilized these tools to make their innovative and everlasting mark on the music world. Having finished this amazing book and gaining new knowledge of this legendary group. I felt it was lacking in the later years of the band in terms of coverage. this is understandable due to the fact of the years of 1968 and 1969 being relatively undocumented in the area of their instruments and some aspects of their studio work. I searched up the author on this site and up came this book. Being a fan of the Stones as well I promptly pre-ordered this book on August 30, 2013 with a release date set for the next month on the 29. I couldn't wait for it to be released. Well I had to wait and wait while they kept pushing the release date further and further back. Until it finally ended up being set to be released in the next year. And even that wasn't set in stone. So last month while on a hunt for answers I turned to the internet. There I found an article on Gibson.com about the book titled "Rolling Stones Gear To Be Released Next Month". After reading through the usual banter about the book I came across a release date Feb 4. Next I went to this site to confirm it and it was the same here. Finally some hope for an imminent release. A couple days later I check again only to find "Out Of Stock Will Order More Soon" instead of the usual release date. This had me baffled and wondering what was going on. Noticing the only review and a 5 one star titled "Will It Ever Be Released?" I read it out of the curiosity.
