My new music memoir, One in the Crowd, is here at last!

It's taken me 3 1/2 years, six major revisions, two major edits and a
final going over and a lot of back and forth with the printer to get
everything fine tuned, but they're here at last!
My book is essentially a memoir that mainly revolves around my experiences with music- music I've loved, shows I helped out on during my stage crew days in high school , many of the best shows I've seen, musicians I've known and met. There is also a small photo collage of The Who from 1968 that a friend of mine took at the show we attended at the San Jose Civic Auditorium and a small photo collage of the Jimi Hendrix Experience that I personally took at one of the October, 1968 shows at Winterland in San Francisco, California.
If any of you are interested in the book, I have it listed through biblio,com (linked below. Just put in "Brian Lux" in the author tab and "One in the Crowd" in the title tab). Because I have an older version of Homebase, I had to list each copy separately. When these are gone, I will list more. I thought about selling them independently but Biblio has been super good to me and my itty bitty business, and although going through them will cost me some, it will help my business.
I apologize in advance to anyone interested in the book for its cost. I've only had one run of 100 copies printed. The cost per book, with all expenses added in, was about $21 each. I'm selling them for $15 (minus fees to me). If I do a second batch of 100 (iffy) they combined books will still average a little over what I am charging. If, by some miracle, I sell out of the first batch, I will have the second run printed which might take a few weeks. I know what you're thinking: "It's a wonder this guy is still in business," LOL!
I could not have made nearly as good a book as this turned out to be with the help of my loving and patient wife. Her help was enormous! Thank you, Dear!
