Most of you are aware that Marie organised the recent Thank you cards for Leonard and members of the band.
There were over 800 signed personaliised messages to Leonard and I think 100 plus to each of the band members.
And as a result from time time we have got emails advising us that there were only a few days left to edit our message - only two days left - the card has closed - and finally that the cards have been delivered etc
It seems most people either deleted these messages without opening them or quickly glanced at them and deleted them.
As a result I was truly surprised to discover in Las Vegas that I was apparently the only Forum member to order a printed version of Leonard's Card which ends up as a 150 page bound book together with illustrations, photos and words of appreciation from over 800 fans around the world.
It seems the card for Leonard closed a week or so prior to those for the other Band Members but if you have saved that email, or it is in your inbox unopened or in your delete folder what you do is scroll to the bottom and
1 Click on Group Cards are printable
2 You can then choose to
i) Print it yourself for $4.95
ii) Purchase it as a poster card for $24.99
ii Purchase it as wall poster for $24.99
iv) Purchase it as a flip book for $24.99 - which is what I would recommend as it comes not as a flip book (as they would do for smaller 'cards') but as a properly bound paperback with a reinforced glossy cover and full of moving tributes from many names familiar to those who post on this forum.
I showed it to many at Las Vegas who were very impressed with the quality and asked how come I had the chance to order it and they did not to which I replied we all had the chance but obviously most others (I have yet to meet or hear of anyone who ordered it) did not check their email and just assumed it was junk.
And if you have long since deleted the email into your junk folder which may be automatically empied every 10 days I suggest you go to the Group Card web site
http://www.groupcard.com
where they will surely have the facility to or search and order any card they have produced.
Although it is the most expensive option I would recomend the book option for sure because with over 150 pages I would not recomend printing at home and the poster options are surely not going to be very user friendly to handle or read with over 700 contributions.
The book is professionally produced and an excellent souvenir of the last three years and peoples thoughts and responses.
Many people asked me if I could advise and publicise how to get a copy of the book so I hope this helps - I will now be writing to Group Card asking for my commission!
