Looks like Ken Sharp is set to reprint his book. This posted on FB: www.facebook.com/groups/6134843597/permalink/10158826992848598/: “Greetings. I'm the author of "Dreamer: The Making Of Pacific Ocean Blue." “Info about the book: [http://ken-sharp.com/dennis-wilson/index.html](http://ken-sharp.com/dennis-wilson/index.html) “I did a small pressing of the book a few years ago and it sold out very quickly. I plan to do a small repressing of the book later this year, both as a softback and limited edition hardback. “If interested in committing to get a copy when available, please email me at sharpk@aol.com and I will add you to the list to be contacted with ordering info when I launch the next pressing. “Grateful for your interest in the book. “God bless Dennis. “PLEASE SHARE.”

For those who don't have it, I highly recommend this book! Alan Boyd's take-by-take description of the POB tour rehearsal tapes, plus the facsimile of the Starship Radio Network bulletin in which a planned taping of Dennis and his band for the Don Kirshner Rock Concert series is reported, alone are worth the price of admission! Not to mention all the other cool stuff, like Dennis' own words, memories and comments from many of the principals - including the other BBs - and photos of tape box & console sheet track info - plus my sessionography. A stellar collection of all things POB, and a few things Bambu!

Really really want this book. Thank you for the heads up. I have emailed Ken and hope it comes to fruition. 🤞

According to Ken, this repressing WILL come to fruition, but he's hoping for more people to show interest.
If you like Dennis' Pacific Ocean Blue album as I do, and Dennis and his music in general, then you will really like this book. I really recommend the hardcover version. It's a good read!

I really got a big kick out of dealing with Ken directly - he was very personable and great at keeping me up to date with my order for the original pressing.
Ken's also a pretty talented singer/writer/musician with a great pop sensibility that blends a bit of bubble-gum with a bit of dream pop with a good dose of Rock & Roll - check out his stuff on the tube, and then the usual streaming outlets if you like what you hear.
