    Got mine today from a real live independent book store - they had six copies prominently displayed. Book Beat's got 'em for the Detroiters. Great book.

    Wierd reading the intro and seeing "soul strut" and a description of what goes on here in print.

    I've read mine cover to cover. Dori does a great job with the words. You really get a feel for who MM was/is, very intimate.

    You all need to get over to the gospel thread and listen to the Harrell Singers.

    Thanks Dan!

    Today was the first day that I walked into a bookstore (Barnes & Nobles) and saw the book on the shelf.. Kind of like an out of body experience! Woah!

    You guys just wait until the 45 is pressed!

    Dori, think about the fall show, second week in October. Get your publisher to fly you out and put you up.

    Actuallly I was asking Shureshot, who I assumed was Topstitch up in Seattle, if he was coming down.

    Eventually, but probably not for a couple weeks at least. We have to iron out a few details before that and some other cool merchandise is all ready to go.

    (cool new website coming real soon, by the way)

    Came back from a weekend away to find my copy sitting in my letterbox. Started reading it on the train this morning and enjoying it immensely. Massive props once again for the work put into this.

    Looks very well done. Kudos.

    My copy finally arrived. I just wanted to add a "this thing is brilliant" to the pile here.

    It is clear that the collection fell into the right hands. What were the chances that someone with the resources and motivation to actually seek out Mike and publish this book (as well as continue to preserve and show the collection) would actually be the person to dig these things out of a flea market?

    Magnificent work, Dori.

    Boing Boing did a bit on this yesterday complete with a link to the NPR piece and a fucked up Soulstrut link.
