I had forgotten all about ordering a copy of the new book, The Garrard Story, by E.W. and B.E. Mortimer, but today it arrived and reminded me!
I think you all know I really love the Garrard 301 & 401 turntables, and if I could I'd have one in every room of my house!
A while back I heard that the father & son team of E.W. and B.E. Mortimer had written a book about Garrard their experiences that covered the 63 years of Garrard production in Swindon, so I had to order one!
I didn't know quite how to get a copy, Amazon listed it, but there were none in stock.
I came across the website for The Garrard Story here, but at the time it only supported sales in the UK.
I was able to contact Karen Eagle, the daughter/granddaughter of the authors, and she told me that the book is being sold by the family, and that they were still "finding our way round the publishing/selling arena," but she had a work-around for ordering The Garrard Story that she told me about.
Anyways, they've now got their website able to accept orders from North America and the European Union. If you live outside UK, Europe, USA, and Canada, Karen has a link on the website and she can help you figure out how to get a copy wherever you are.
The Garrard Story is 152 pages of Garrard goodness that you won't to be without, so order your copy before they're gone, as it's a limited volume sort of book.
As always, thanks for stopping by, and may the tone be with you!
