1. Availability in the USA and Canada
Vols 1 and 2 have now been reprinted and were launched in the USA in Autumn 2007. They are priced at $39.95 each, and distributed by Hal Leonard. Both volumes now include an INDEX (see below), and a non-spiral 'stay-flat' binding replaces the previous 'covered spiral' binding. This edition is now on sale in Europe too; the spiral -bound books are no longer available, except as old stock.
Other changes include the covers, which now feature my photo instead of Herbie Hancock's! This is because American law prohibits likenesses of well-known people appearing on book covers without payment of royalties to the person in question. My photo also now appears on new printings of IBP.

If you own a copy of the first printing of Vol 1 (spiral bound, with Herbie Hancock on the front cover), you'll have noticed there is no index as publication date loomed, it was decided there just wasn't time to prepare this without going way over schedule. I've now compiled the index, which appears in the 2006 reprint and subsequent printings.

NB: All editions of Vol.
2 contain their own self-contained index.
3. Vol 1 (first printing) - Corrections
As with any new publication, mistakes always slip through the net. In spite of many, many hours of checking and proof-reading both text and music, several errors made it into the first printing.
4. Vol 1 (latest printing) - Corrections
Last updated 25 March 2007
If you obtained your copy quite recently, you'll probably have the reprint which has a non-spiral, 'stay-flat' binding, and a photo of me on the front cover in place of Herbie Hancock.
All the known errors have been corrected in this edition, and it also includes the INDEX. However, some copies have a serious error on p. 197, which features identical music to p. 196, ie: the melody of CLOUD NINE is missing.

Once you've downloaded it, please print p. 197 out and paste it into your copy of Vol. 1.
