Don't worry, I didn't change it that much. My original intention was guided by precisely what you describe, and I remained true to it.
Again, I appreciate your criticism and agree with it. We struggled with this one! I went with Sonya's drawings because I find them so much more dynamic than a photograph which tends to freeze things into immobility. We tried shooting the hand but it was no contest, her drawings communicate way more. But I must admit, those multi-hand ones are hard to comprehend at first - just to let you know, we did try many ways of making them clearer, but we couldn't go to colour because of printing cost restraints...
Thanks for your comments, keep 'em coming! This new book is somewhat 'experimental' to my mind and I am highly curious as to how people will respond to it...

Hey Alan!
Sorry to bother you about this topic, since you already have answered questions about it before. But are there any news on the second edition? Will we get a release date soon? I want to order a copy of both your books, so I feel like I am waiting forever to get my hands on "Honing the Pianistic Self Image", hehe.
All the best

Go ahead and order , don't wait - Lord knows when the bottleneck at Scarecrow Press will clear up. They are having personnel changes which have led to further slowdowns...
You won't lose money when you finally do purchase or the DVD will get a discount on their purchase of the new edition.
And many people are now working from as a precursor...
Thanks for your inquiry and your enthusiasm!
All the best,

I agree with Alan here. I have the creaft DVD and and I find them to be quite a good match together. There are many things in the DVD that go by very quickly and the book adds a lot of explanation regarding why we put our hands in certain position and more importantly, what we should feel internally as we go through the excercise.
I also had some hesitation before buying because I wanted to wait for the 2nd edition of the craft but I am defnitely happy that I purchased it and didn't wait.

Okey! I will buy Honing as quick as possible
How is this coupon-system working by the way? Is it some advanced stuff?
I am looking forward to read and try out the things you have written!
All the best

Very simple coupon system - buy what you want to buy now, and later on when you want to buy something else, let us know by email that you already bought something earlier, and we will send you a special coupon giving you the discount price...
Voila!
Enjoy Honing!

Just a huge thank you to everyone who has waited so patiently for the 2nd Edition of Good news! It is finally out! And it looks great!
Maple Grove Music will receive its own copies in a few days and then will be able to start shipping orders to those of you who filled out the pre-order form.
And my Serbian edition was published the same week... there has been a lot happening...
All best,

Thank you, Alan, for making a 2nd edition!
Will it be available in Hardcover, too?

Yes it will be in hardcover as well.
A little more pricey but an elegant, quality item!
