And I have no idea about the deck. I've owned the same pair of 1200s for 17 years (with a few repairs here and there)... never bothered to try anything else... !! My biggest DJ "upgrade" has been to Serato...

Yeah, I knew it would take a bit of getting over for some folks - but I kinda hoped the 'reputation' that the recess.co.uk site has gained over the past 10 years would offset that. Apart from a nice review on Amazon.co.uk - I've not seen anything about how people like (or , eek, don't like) the book - I guess the New Year, and when it comes out in the US - will be the real test. And did I get the deck wrong? Is that why it's now in bold ;-( Thanks for congrats though! John Ha!

And I suppose you already knew you'd get heckled about the Dummies thing, right John? :) Regardless, congrats on the book! I'll be looking for it at Barnes & Noble... Doh!
