Please read ALL of the instructions below! Digital songbooks are a very new piece of technology; it's easy to make a mistake! If you decide to purchase a digital songbook, update to the latest Acrobat reader first
if you haven't done so. You can get it here.
Order ONLY one songbook per order.
Do not order any other items with that order.
Select FIRST CLASS MAIL, no matter where you live. This will add a Yahoo! ten cent service charge.
Immediately after you place your order, there will be a BLUE BOX in the upper right of the next page that says DOWNLOAD. You MUST click this link to get to the download. You will not be SENT a link.
If you're overseas, Yahoo! may stall. Please contact merch@janisian.com
in that event, and include the last four digits of your order number.
Because it's print-quality, this is a large download; it may take a while.
A new approach to sheet music distribution, the "FINB" digital songbook contains professionally transcribed lead sheets (supervised by Janis) to all the songs on the album. Guitar chords and fingerings, vocal parts, lyrics are here, as well as a wonderful foreword about the writing of these songs by Janis herself.
Songbooks of full albums are not commonly offered by independent artists any more because, frankly, they are just too expensive to print and distribute in the quantities necessary to make them cost effective; the typical price point for a nicely-done songbook runs $25.00 or more. In the same vein, there is no way for Janis to make back her investment in this digital songbook at this price; we would have to charge at least $30.00 per download for that to happen. However, Janis' main interest is that these songs be played, and performed, so she is taking the loss quite happily.
Janis is experimenting with electronic distribution in the hope that many people will download this songbook; if that happens, we'll be encouraged to offer songbooks of other albums as well.
When this item is purchased, the buyer will be provided a link to download a 8MB .pdf file containing the entire songbook, including front and back covers, Table of Contents, and foreword, as well as all the charts. You can then print the file on your printer, view it on your computer, or even take it to a print house for printing on high quality stock and binding. You'll also be charged ten cents for shipping. We know, that's ridiculous, but if we don't charge you that, Yahoo! will automatically charge you a whole mess more...
Note! Facilities such as Kinko's may object to printing and/or binding this because of copyright protection concerns. We have included a permissions note on the very last page. Believe it or not, we had to get permission to do this ourselves. We thank our friends at EMI Japan and Hal Leonard for their willingness to experiment with this new paradigm!
On the order make sure you check the box for a confirmation email. The email will contain a link to look at your order and the download button so you can get to that screen if you have an Adobe problem.
