    Raymond did not put in a date limit in his request and I think that was intentionally. A book needs time but I hope as many pianists as possible will be able to have his/her submission ready in at least 2 months.

    I'm in.
    Raymond, can you please post a deadline date? I think you told me before, but I forgot. I've had this on the 'back burner' for a while and need a kick to get it going again.

    Hi Mary,
    A member of this site is putting together a book consisting of the biographies of members who have recordings up here.

    Dear all.

    I am very exited about this book, since it has turned out to be far better than I would have ever have imagined! This is due mainly to the remarkable work of Peter Bispham, who has done all the typing, most of the proof reading, designimg the arrangement of the text ( which you will see is extremely attractive) and the gorgeous book cover using Julia's lovely photograph.

    We all owe Peter a great debt of gratitude for his tireless efforts to make this book what it is.

    Raymond

    Dear all

    The book is now available to order online at http://www.lulu.com/content/5404007
    There is an online preview where you can read the contents pages, foreword and back cover.

    All pianists who submitted profiles for the book will receive a complimentary copy as thanks for your contribution. Raymond will be in touch if he hasn't already.

    For many of you, reading your profile will be a nostalgic experience and I apologise for the time it has taken to finish.

    As it is published by a print-on-demand service, the book takes about 5 days to arrive as the copies are printed to order. This was the best option for getting the book published of those we considered. The book will be available to buy on Amazon in approx 6 weeks but the Piano Society gets more revenue per copy for orders from the link above.

    Tell your friends and family and spread the word online if you can. Hopefully the book will generate a decent amount of revenue for the Piano Society to continue its great work.

    Robert, I will post you some images of the book to create a proper fanfare on the main site.

    Finally, special thanks to Raymond, the inspiration behind this effort.

    Peter

    The book really looks great and we (that is me and Raymond) will send a copy to all participants in the project!

    I have also created a top banner on the main site, linking to a page which briefly explains the project and from where it is possible to buy the book.
