I look forward to getting this book. How long will it be before Elderly has them in? If anyone knows.
Likely within two weeks is what Alfred told us. I have a note in to the book person at Elderly to let us know so we can share that news.

Alfred sent me a copy of the book. It's simply stunning, truly an epic bit of work of the very highest quality.
There are books for Eldery on the way from Germany. But because of Covid there are large delays for shipping right now. The US customs is not managing all the parcels.
But besides from Elderly you can get books directly from me. Shipping a single book takes about 2 weeks from Germany to the United States.
As someone who has also written a book on building mandolins, I can only say this is a superb publication The historical side alone is excellent and the clear and logical approach to building a modern German bowlback mandolin shows and, more importantly, explains every step of the process. Even if you never make a bowlback mandolin, there are approaches to, as well as ideas about, building any musical instrument which alone are worth the cost of the book.

Looking forward to your session at CMSA; I feel so knowledge-shy about the structure and history of an instrument I have come to love. I have all the tools and wood collections of an amateur cabinet-making woodworker, but am in awe of the luthier.
Got my book today and it didn't take very long at all! Sadly my wife snagged it to wrap for Christmas!

Well, Christmas has been here and gone, Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone, and I finally got my tired out overworked hands on this book! If you are interested in these instruments it is a great addition to your library.
