Garage Glamour Book - Glamour 1™ Putting the Glamour Back in Photography!

**Robear0001** · 05-03-2006, 07:06 PM

I ordered the garage glamour book way back in february. Now I see that the beautiful girl on the cover is gone and the cover is plain black. I know there were issues with the cover pic being off somehow but why was the pic of the gorgous girl opted away for a black cover. I have been patiently waiting for this book but still have no idea when amazon will ship it or if they ever will.

I've been anxiously awaiting the book also, and a couple of days ago I got the following note from Amazon...

We wanted to let you know there's a delay with one or more
items in the order you placed on March 15 2006 07:29 PST
(Order# xxxxxxx).

Rolando Gomez (Author) "Garage Glamour : Digital Nude and Beauty
Photography Made Simple" [Paperback]
Item delayed 4-6 weeks.

Yeah I'm bummed out about the delay, but I'm sure the book will be worth it.

Rolando did not like how they printed the cover of the book so he sent it back to the printer to redo it. That is why it is late in getting to the stores.

usually, there's a (press) approval process before it's run.

If memory serves me correcty he explained that in a prior post. He approved it and they ran with it and the run was not the press. Whatever I just said......

JT is correct. They did send a copy for pre-approval which I saw myself and it was ok but when the book arrived it was not the same as proof in color. Rolando sent back to have it redone.

They tell him now that it may be end of May first of June.
He is not a happy camper.

I pre-ordered mine, release is end of this month

That's pretty much what I figured after seeing the promo cover here change to just black a few weeks ago. I comfirmed that assumption by following the Amazon link and glancing at the book's second page which revealed that the cover image is still Holley. Bummer on the release delay but these things happen.
