Fifty Sides of The Beach Boys news

[Mark Dillon]

Hi everybody. I just wanted to share with you this great news I recently got from my publisher ECW Press. The first print run of my book Fifty Sides of The Beach Boys is near sold out after a couple of months, and they are going forward with a second print run. I would like to thank people here for their support, in terms of their informative posts, the direct help they have offered and for buying the book. It is greatly appreciated.

That's great, congrats! I've heard nothing but good stuff about it. Gonna purchase it with the next amazon order (as well as The Beach Boys FAQ).

You mean they're printing ANOTHER 50 copies??

Seriously, many congrats!  I never had a book that made it to a second sale (budget edition, yes, without telling me), let alone a second print run!

Your second $million approaches… don't forget to remember us!

I'm actually reading it daily on the train back & forth to work this week. Great book so far. Loving Zooey Deschanel's thoughts on Wouldn't It Be Nice.

Congrats Mark, on the 2nd print run. You writes good.

[Rocker]

Congratulations ! Hope I can afford a copy in the not too distant future as well..

My 17 year old son bought it for me in honor of my birthday a few weeks ago.     It's a great book full of tid-bits that I hadn't previously seen.  Just today, I went searching for Keith Green's cover of "Girl Don't Tell Me" as a result of the write-up on that song.  Congrats on the success of the book!

And, for those interested, here's what I found when I looked for the Keith Green cover (it's the 2nd song in the video and begins at about 2:15):

Great man! Congratulations!
I bought it in the Amazon pre-order, and I'm finishing your book today.
This is a great book, well written and reasearched, and It's a pleasure to read, with the each sang chapters.
To everybody: get your copy now, it's worth.

[Paulos]

I look forward to reading your book when I can afford it, it's killing me knowing there is a new Beach Boys book out there that I can't get yet. Glad the book is selling well, it's amazing that you had the foresight to release it in the same time period that a book with a similar title was released and trick a few desperate housewives into ordering your book by mistake...

[Don Malcolm]

A most deserving success, Mark--a very nice pocket history, with a well-selected, imaginative set of songs as its centerpiece. A very worthy addition to the BB's ever-expanding bibliography.

Mark you will have to give me a few pointers when my book on them comes out! Great job.

[Alan Smith]

Mark, Congratulations! - I've been really looking forward to getting a copy; doubly so since AdamGhost offered the Chaos band gig package deal.

I think multi-media cross promotional packages are a great way for writers and musos to offer their wares

Mark you will have to give me a few pointers when my book on them comes out! Great job.

Mike--you've been very supportive, and I'm happy to impart whaterver wisdom I can! I look forward to seeing your own book out soon.

And thanks everyone for your kind words!

I'm planning to do a playlist on iTunes to accompany the book, with all the songs covered in the book. Could be some interesting additional tracks as well. Would that interest anyone out there?

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I have been so busy lately, I had no idea there was a new book out! I will have to check this out!

Do yourself a favour, I highly recommend Mark's book.

Congrats on the well deserved success, Mark!

No problem and I will let you know as soon as I get any leads on selling mine. Meanwhile I am glad to see a book like yours doing so well. This and FAQ, plus Jon's earlier books, and Andrew's, are all highly recomended. 

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

it's $15 bucks guys hahaha Just bought 2!

[punkinhead]

I just got it a couple of days ago and I can't put it down! It follows me everywhere from the library to the bathroom to my bed. Mark, how's it feel to know someone reads your work before they go to sleep? That's gotta be a good feeling of some type.

BTW, this is Justin Plank

[Banana]

I bought it on my Nook several weeks ago.  ESSENTIAL reading for any serious BB fan.  You did a great job telling the story of the band through the songs and by talking to the people who were actually there.  GET THIS BOOK!

[Mark Dillon]

Thanks Justin and Banana. It means a lot to me to know that hardcore fans such as yourself are digging the book.

Just ordered my copy of ebay this evening. Hopefully it'll arrive before i leave for Spain at the end of the week, will make for some very pleasurable holiday reading i'm sure.

[Magic Transistor Radio]

I went to Barnes and Noble and couldn't find it. Is it in any stores or do I have to order it online?

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Same here. I want to get it.

Hi MTR. It is in major bookstores. Whereabouts are you? You could also order via Amazon or the iBookstore, or, like I mentioned in my other post, I could sell you a signed copy directly.
