Andrew Sandoval updates fans on "Day-By-Day" book news and opens pre-orders

5/22/2021

Back in February, Monkees fans received the news they had long been anticipating: Andrew Sandoval officially announced the brand new edition of his groundbreaking book on the group, The Monkees: The Day-By-Day Story. Now set to ship in August, Andrew's original work has been thoroughly rewritten, redesigned, and expanded to an incredible 740 pages!

Andrew initially asked customers to reserve a copy of the book which acted as an intention to order. Now the time has come to formally pre-order and provide payment.

​Remember that the various editions of Day-By-Day will be produced in limited combined quantities (2,000 total to be exact). There 
is no plan to keep this book in print perpetually and an electronic version will not be offered.

Andrew has provided a detailed update on Facebook,  including why the release date was pushed back, a breakdown on shipping options, and much more. You can read his message below and also watch a brand new video that provides a sneak peek inside the book.

Happy ordering!

Monkees Book Ordering News from Andrew Sandoval

 The good news is The Monkees: The Day-By-Day Story is in production after last minute additions and polishing. It is now 740 pages! For those who reserved the super deluxe edition, the supplement has swelled to 40 pages – it really looks great! You can see samples of the 3 different editions of the book at Beatland Books  – I will try and upload some further videos later in the weekend.

The increased size means that all of the costs of the book went up, but I will of course honor the original prices if you pre-order your book between now and June 30th. Now the not so great news: although production is on schedule to be completed in June as promised, the books will not arrive at the Port of Long Beach (where they filmed Head in April 1968) until July and the printer is estimating it may take a full 3 or 4 weeks for the container to make a short trek to the nearby shipping center. This is due to increased traffic in the port since the pandemic. That means late July or early August shipping for the preorders.

Many people have written and wondered why they would need to preorder if they already reserved a book. The fact of the matter is that no one has actually paid for their books yet (that is except for me)! So, if you are sincere about buying a book, the store is now open. We will keep track of all orders and anyone who doesn’t pre-order will lose their reservation on June 30th. You may chose to wait to order if any stock is left on the books, but the prices will go up $25 on each edition (to reflect my increased production costs). I am only making 2,000 books and will suspend all sales in September when I focus fully on producing the Monkees’ tour. This is it! I have no plans to keep the book in print – I will NOT be doing a digital version. It is a limited edition collector’s book that should retain its value.

My team and I actually took extra time with not only the contents of the book, but also how it would ship to you. This book will be shipped by a professional facility and not by me personally. Because of the physical size of the book, shipping outside of the United States is quite expensive. I was in shock when I first saw the rates and went the extra mile to get better prices wherever I could, but I do not set the rates of shipping or fuel or control the universe. I know!

These are the simple facts:

740 page Flexibound Open Edition weighs 11 pounds – boxed 14x10x3.5 inches

740 page signed & numbered Deluxe Edition in a Slip Cover weighs 13 pounds – boxed 14.5x10x3.5 inches
​
740 page signed & numbered Super Deluxe Edition with extra 40 page booklet weighs 16 pounds – boxed 15.5x11x4.5 inches

You may now turn your reservation into a preorder at our shop. This is the only way to guarantee you will get one of the 2,000 books being produced. Note: If you do not act on your reservation by June 30, 2021 it will be considered abandoned. If you wish to change your order or quantity at this time, you may do it in your pre-order. If you signed up for our waitlist, you may also preorder now and we will take you off of the waitlist.

Because so many people changed their reservations and made excessive multiple reservations, we are not sending out individual invoices. Pick what you want from the shop and we will consider your reservation fulfilled. If you do not preorder a book by June 30th we will know you do not wish to keep your reservation and we will release more books for preorder.

How much do the books cost? Preorder prices are $75 for the flexibound/$175 for the Deluxe in Slipcover/$225 for Super Deluxe in clamshell case with additional 40-page book. Shipping and tax are calculated once you place the book(s) in your cart.

We do not offer combined shipping; each book comes individually boxed and with Priority mail on the Flexibound and Deluxe, we found the Medium flat rate box was the best option, but it only allowed one book per box. There is no other flat rate box that fits this book and no flat rate box that fits the Super Deluxe. Media Mail is also an option in the United States.

I think you will love the book! I showed the samples to Michael & Micky and they were both shocked at the size and price (they each told me I didn’t charge enough - lol)! Looking forward to you having your book – let the preorders begin - visit Beatland Books.

I sticking with my initial gut feeling that this is going to be THE collectable the hardcore fans never dreamed was possible, actually coming to fruition. I'm giddy with anticipation, especially due to the fact that Andrew has complete, 100% creative control for the first time ever on a Monkees project. It speaks volumes of him as a historian and a writer, that per his last update yesterday, that he was still adding information, polishing up, and expanding the book's length as recently as perhaps this past week, to give us as much as he possibly can. Personally, I'm also grateful that the focus of the 740 pages is the project's original creative run that ended in 1970. I will certainly be intrigued by a potential second volume focusing on the reunion years, but my real passion for the group ( as I believe is true of many of us here) is that original cannon of work on the Columbia sound-stages, various recording studios & live performance venues around the world. AND... the emphasis Andrew has placed on the May, 1967 court documents CHANGING the Monkees story as we've all assumed it to be all these years... Hell, I would've payed the SDE price just for that info, and it obvious we're getting so much more! One last data point - I'm blown away that Andrew has put this MONSTER tome together basically starting from a fresh slate, only since maybe last quarter of 2019?? That's incredible to me!! C'mon August!!! ( fingers crossed we get some video sneak peeks between now & then!!)

Who would have ever thought it would be a burden in 2021 to follow news about The Monkees? Thanks to this site for all of the updates as I just ordered Dolenz Sings Nesmith and I'm getting ready to purchase the Sandoval book.

Signed,

A fan since '86

Will the Open edition be printed in color?

This page says "All editions: 740 pages, printed on 157gsm matte paper stock in full color."
https://beatlandbooks.com/reserve-your-book/

However, while this page says the two more expensive ones are in color, the Open edition just says "740-page book printed on heavy weight paper"

I noticed that too and was wondering the exact same thing. I reserved the standard $75 version, but if that one is in black and white only I'll probably go with the $175 version. I hope we get an answer before too long.

Sunday (5/23/21) Update... I asked this question on Facebook this morning, and Andrew responded that yes... all editions will be in color.

While I welcome this updated book very much I was in shock when I noticed the calculated extra costs to ship it over to Europe: for the 75$ version I would have to pay extra 85$ (!!) dollars. Where in the world in this calculation done? Postage is even more expensive than the already very expensive book versions? I'm very frustrated and so finally I will not finish my reservation.

Shipping rates are determined by the shipping companies, and costs and gone waaay up in the past year. Andrew tried to get the best rates he could, but there's only so much one person can do. I'm sorry you won't be getting the book though. It's going to be a amazing one.

I haven't read all the news on here, so the answer I'm looking for may be around somewhere. I ordered one of the new books--are they still supposed to arrive this month (July)?
