Magic Fills the Air Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I've just received a rather surprising letter from Genesis explaining the publishing delays for Jimmy's book and apologising for them (I thought they would have done this via email). As an apology Genesis has sent me a £40 voucher off my next purchase. Included in the letter is an A4 sized brochure about Jimmy's book which I have to say is rather beautiful. The final paragraph of the letter states that: 'As soon as we talk with our binder in the first week of January, we will be in touch with an exact date that your book will ship'. I'm sure everyone who has ordered Jimmy's book and is still waiting will receive the same letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi Magic, Well at least you have something to hold till it arrives. And...you WILL enjoy that Keef book for Xmas to tide you over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Fills the Air Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 Hi Magic, Well at least you have something to hold till it arrives. And...you WILL enjoy that Keef book for Xmas to tide you over. Thank you Hotplant. Yes, it really made my day seeing Jimmy's beautiful face on the front of the brochure. I wasn't expecting that in the post so it was a lovely surprise and a nice gesture from Genesis. And I'm really looking forward to Keef's book on Christmas day.

kenog Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Thank you Hotplant. Yes, it really made my day seeing Jimmy's beautiful face on the front of the brochure.

Hi Magic, Maybe I am being cynical here, but I would rather that Genesis had sent all those of you who have yet to receive the book, a £40 cheque, rather than a token. A token is only useful if you wish to buy another one of Genesis' books,and they are all very expensive. I am pleased, however, that Genesis are finally keeping their buyers in the picture with a more detailed explanation for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargroves Tangie Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Thanks for the info Magic. I didn't get a letter yet (takes longer to get to the States I guess), but I'm glad to hear that Genesis will be notifying us exactly when the book will be shipped- mine will be delivered to my husband's job and I don't want it to get misplaced there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There does seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel! And that A4 size brochure about Jimmy's book must have made your day, Magic! And remember the saying "Good Things Come To Those Who Wait" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since most Genesis books start at around the £200 mark, I very much doubt if I'll use it. There's no time limit on the voucher, so I will keep it just in case, but Jimmy's book really is a one-off treat. To be honest, I was more happy about receiving the brochure which Genesis have said is also limited in number and was printed after Jimmy's book sold out. I'll see if I can photograph it over the weekend to post on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Fills the Air Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 I managed to photograph the brochure, although my camera kept dying on me, so I'm sorry that the pictures aren't great! This first photo of the front (and back cover) is of Jimmy in 1968 and is my favourite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rover Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Maybe the £40 voucher can be used to buy the exclusive "The Making of the Jimmy Page Book" DVD ! A behind the scenes look at the manufacturing process to make this special book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aen27 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I recieved my brochure today and feel a little relieved to have offical notication before Christmas. As for pictures from it my favorites are the Yardbirds one and even more, the one of Jimmy walking on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
