Did you ever put out a William Clarke tab book? I could swear that I saw one a few years back, and I was thinking that you might have been the one who put it out? If so, what ever happened to it?
Thanks,
-Ryan

Yes, there was. Unfortunately it went out of print 10 years ago. All of the transcription books went out of print... bummer... to me that information is valuable... I guess consumers didn't agree.

Is there any chance to resurrect the book?
I am not speaking about an paper edition, I mean a legal downloable version.

That's all up to the owner of the book, Mel Bay Publications. Send them an email (www.melbay.com).

Many of David Barrett's book

Many of David Barrett's book are available for digital purchase through Google Books. However the transcription books which went out of print a decade ago are not. It is nearly impossible to find print copies of the following books. I have called MelBay a couple times over the past year but haven't heard back. David can't release these transcriptions because MelBay owns the copyrights. So I'm asking for everyone's help.

All you need to do is take a few minutes of your time over the next week to either email MelBay or call them and ask them to consider releasing the following out of print books by David Barrett for digital purchase.

Big Walter Horton w/Carey Bell (MB95764CDP)
Sugar Blue “In Your Eyes” (MB97170CDP)
William Clarke “Serious Intentions” (95763CPD)

email them at: email@melbay.com

or call at: 1-800-8-MEL-BAY (1-800-863-5229)

Thanks for your help guys,
Taylor

I received a reply from Melbay.com that they no longer carry "Serious Intentions" and have no plans to release any future publications.  Nor is it something they are willing to release via a custom order request.
