Just wanted to let you all know that there is now available a fantastic new book called "The Allman Brothers Band: Classic Memorabilia" authored by two friends of mine, the great Willie Perkins and my fellow ABB collector, Jack Weston.
I received my copy today and I can honestly say this is a must for everyone on this site.
The book features high quality photos of all kinds of unique and memorable Allman artifacts, including tickets, posters, tee shirts and equipment dating from 1969 thru 1976.
Interspersed are great essays from both Willie and Jack,
This is a true museum visit without ever leaving your home.
Those who know me are aware that I personally have my own extensive and unique collection of Allman memorabilia, but I can honestly say that you don't have to be a collector or hobbyist to enjoy every single page of this classy new book.
You just need to be a fan.
Congratulations to Willie and Jack on another great addition to our ABB
library.
Thank you, looking forward to it 🙂
purchasing on CharlieO's reco. when CharlieO says jump, I say how high?!
Thanks. It's available on amazon. Be sure to review it and let other amazon readers know what you think.
Just ordered from Amazon UK. £17.
😉 I will also buy a copy ..as soon as I have some time for Amazon.. I would have loved a signed copy from Willie , I have a signed and cherished Hard Cover No Saints No Saviors from Willie and I also had sweet Elizabeth Lagrua ( she was a devoted ABB/DB fan and also I believe a photo journalist ) sign my copy as well she helped Willie with some of the photos in NSNS book and they were very very good friends.. another sweet soul gone to soon. I miss her and our long talks about the early days of the ABB .
Thanks Willie 
Willie's a class act!
I'd like to know if this book has the 3/27/71 ABB/Springsteen handbill in it. If it does, I
will order the book immediately.
Didn't notice that particular one DarylM (1st time thru that is 😮 ), but there are some real gems in there -- including the flyer for the very first paid gigs, May 1969 in Macon -- brilliant -- great homemade artwork & writing -- concludes with "Prepare your mind to be musically educated as you experience THE ALLMAN BROTHERS"
Great job on this, Messrs. Perkins & Weston
