The NEW Rooftop Sessions Fiction Digest Volume 3 is now available for purchase! For those of you who missed the pre-order window, the books are now priced at $15, plus $5 for U.S. Priority Mail shipping or $10 for International Air Mail shipping. Ordering information is available by clicking on the scrolling marquee at the top of the main Rooftop Sessions page or going directly to THIS PAGE (http://www.rooftopsessions.com/preorder.htm) for the order form. Additionally, you may save the cost of shipping if you are planning to attend the Chicago Fest for Beatles Fans in August, when I will be bringing books with me and will have them available for sale at my table in the London Room on the lower level.

This beautiful, professional trade paperback features 12 award-winning stories by authors you have come to know and love in the pages of Rooftop Sessions each month (including several of our very own Beatlelinks members!), and exclusive new illustrations by the talented Kristin Turberville.

If you would like to order a book, please send a check or money order made payable to SUSAN RYAN to:

I own the first two RS fiction digests, and they're well worth the money!

Can't wait to see the new one, Susan!

Thanks, Ring. (BTW, yes, I know how to do that. I thought the "order form" part would be of importance, too).

The Nose Fairy is funny and doesn't have any language that could 'turn off' the new fanfic reader. Thanks! graemlins/thumbsup1.gif

I received it a couple days ago. Thanks for sticking me all the way back on page 139. No, really, I appreciate it. Honest! images/icons/wink.gif

In all honestly, thanks for the copy. I'm going to try and read through it without damaging it too much since no doubt my grandchildren will want to see their grandaddys most famous moment images/icons/grin.gif

Seriously, the way I do it so that it is fair is alphabetically by story title...so...NOSE FAIRY comes pretty far back in the alphabet...

I'm so glad you like! images/icons/smile.gif

Okay, so now I need more spare money, after I buy one of Kristins shirts. I'm very interested in this book, and I'm ultra picky about my Beatles books!

Well, you can be sure that, other than Volume One & Two, there are no other books out there like this one (at least not with the same story quality). graemlins/thumbsup1.gif

I have all the Rooftop books and I can vouch for the high caliber of work and in the most recent book, Kristin's exceptional art. Damn, she is GOOD! Having her drawing included with your story is an honor.

And yeah, Harb, your story was BRILLIANT! I think it is VERY funny! graemlins/laugh4.gif

-lennon4<hr /></blockquote>Thanks for the kind words, Kristin -- However, I must also point out that Tina (Beatlegirl9977) has a fabulous book too...I would be severely remiss if I didn't mention that, particularly since I like it so much! (And I was also one of the editors on it! images/icons/wink.gif )

I guess had been thinking along the lines of, the RS book is a compilation book, AND the stories are good...and that there aren't any others like that (to my knowledge, anyway). But yeah, Tina's story is great! I plan on getting it at the fest. graemlins/thumbsup1.gif

When I upgrade my account, I'll be able to have the same product with multiple design choices. I'll keep your suggestion in mind. graemlins/teeth1.gif

Gee...I really got this thread off-topic didn't I? Sorry about that...

So yeah, go order the RS book! graemlins/laugh2.gif

Volume 3 is great. I've already read through most of it (and I've read most of the stories in it online anyway), and it's just as great as the first two volumes. Great work, all! images/icons/smile.gif
