Hot off the press! Love America! 12 Patriotic Songs arranged for ukulele is now available in a newly revised and enhanced edition for both paperback and Kindle.
When the inaugural edition of Love America! 12 Patriotic Songs was released on July 4th for the 250th birthday celebrations, early supporters grabbed copies at the special launch price of US $14.92.
Since then, I’ve given the book a thoughtful polish and expansion into the Revised & Enhanced Edition (list price US $17.76), permanently replacing the original release.
Why Did I Revise Love America: 12 Patriotic Songs?
As I looked back at the inaugural release, I realized that three of the songs didn’t truly belong under a patriotic umbrella, while three actual patriotic songs had been left out. Plus, once I started revising, I couldn’t resist filling the blank pages with song sheets and back stories, and adding even more to make it a richer collection.
Why Your Inaugural Edition is a Rare Collector’s Item
If you hold a copy of that first release, hold onto it tightly—it will no longer be printed! That makes your copy a true limited-edition piece, featuring some unique characteristics:
- Out of Print: Because this inaugural run is discontinued, your copy is a genuine collector’s item.
- Exclusive Early Songs: It includes the 3 original songs that didn’t fit the final patriotic theme (which have now found a happy home in the upcoming companion book coming out in November). You got them first!
- Unique Cover: The cover of the inaugural edition does not feature a ukulele, setting it apart from the standard series formatting.
