60.0. "How To Order Deadbase" by GR8FUL::WHITE (She sang a little while...) Wed Jan 09 1991 19:32

	How do all those statistic wizards do it?  How do they know
	when the last Cassidy -> Comes A Time was played?

	They use DEADBASE!  And yes, you to can have your very own!
	The latest instructions on how to order are in this topic...

60.1Ordering info (a bit dated)GR8FUL::WHITEWithout love in a dream...Fri Feb 08 1991 14:4317
	From a postcard that was postmarked in May of 1990:

	Orders shoud go to:

		DeadBase Orders
		P.O. Box 499
		Hanover NH 03755

	Offered on this card are:

			Price in US$ When Shipped by:
		Pages	Book Rate	Priority Mail
	DB '88	 128	  10.00		    12.00
	DB '89	 192	  12.00		    14.00
	DB IV	 412(?)	  24.00		    27.00

60.3Looks like DB '90 is available nowSPICE::PECKARCongratulations!Wed Apr 10 1991 10:2723
Got a post card from the Deadbase folks announcing Deadbase '90 and Deadbase V.

	"Our bigger and better-than-ever annual edition, Deadbase '90,
	 will contain many features that will not be available in 
	 Deadbase V, including reviews of each show and the running
	 time for each and every song played last year.  The 1990 Year
	 in Review provides the most complete analysis available of 
	 a remarkable year of Grateful Dead performances, the sort of
	 coverage that would be impossible for the cvomplete Deadbase."

	The card goes on to explain that Deadbase V wn't be back from
	the printers until July (maybe), and that it will "feature the
	temporary return of Garciabase".

	Here is the latest ordering info:

			Book Rate	Priority		Send to:

Deadbase '88		$10.00		$12.00		  Deadbase Orders
Deadbase '89 or '90	$12.00		$14.00		   P.O. Box 499
Deadbase V		$26.00		$29.00		Hanover, NH    03755

60.7VI and '91 announcedSPICE::PECKARShadow skiing the apocalypseWed Apr 01 1992 14:1819
That time of year again...

				Book rate	Priority

	Deadbase '91		$12.00		$14.00

	Deadbase VI		$27.00		$30.00


DeadBase '91 will be 221 pages this year.

"DeadBase VI will return from the printers later in the year (probably August) 
and will again feature both GarciaBase and WeirBase. As the book will have to 
be longer and will now exceed three pounds, it will cost $1 more than the 
current edition. Containing extensive set lists, statistics, facts and opinion 
on twenty-seven years of Grateful Dead magic, it is an invaluable resource for 
any Deadhead."

60.8DB VI now available in hardcoverCSCMA::M_PECKARTue Sep 08 1992 15:2932
The inevitable postcard apologizing for the delay of Deadbase VI has arrived; 
the book should be shipping come october.  There is a new option for those who 
may be interested in ordering -- for an additional $12, you can get the book in 
hardcover.  They've somehow made the book phil up 576 pages this year!

Please remember to discuss this in note 61, lest the fickled finger of 
digression nab yer note nastily....

Deadbase VI is still the latest and most recent one?
Cost for a hardcover, at priority shipping, is 30+12 = $42 ?

thx, Josh

    my Deadbase V) on sale at Headlines in Nashua.

Its usually around this time of the year that Deadbase announces its next 
year book and full 'base'.

Mike R, are you paying attention?
60.12CSCMA::M_PECKARBe kind: unwindThu Apr 08 1993 18:493
Sorry Josh, I didn't answer you question. Yes, I would assume that those prices 
are still in affect and those volumes are still available.

    And, due this summer . . .
    
    Basebase I!
    
    If you've lost track of the various 'bases, this is the volume for you! 
    Chock full of useful stats, such as . . .
    
    * Computer system on which each 'base was developed.
    * Graduating statistics for people who write 'bases.
    * Computer resources stolen from universities and corporations
      to maintain 'bases.
    
    And a special section entitled "Well, Who Wouldn't Want to Retain Their
    Anus?"
    
    Reserve your copy now!  Charter subscribers will receive free, after
    the publication of Basebase V (projected for 1998), Basebasebase!

Yes, but we should have seen announcements for Deadbase VIII flying 
around..
60.19My guess...BINKLY::CEPARSKISummer Flies And August DiesThu Jul 21 1994 19:421
    DeadBase VIII probably won't be in circulation til Fall.

60.26maybe there will be supplementals for RatbaseTOLKIN::OSTIGUYRipples never come backThu Apr 04 1996 19:0410
just wondering...any news on a "new" or "last" Deadbase ???   I know that's a
kinda weird and depressig to think of it this way, but I don't have any DB yet,
and do you think they have the Deadbase ready up to and including July 9,1995?

earlier in this note the ordering was thru Deadbase Orders at a PO Box in 
Hanover NH...still the way to order deadbase?

Thanx

Wes
60.27SPECXN::BARNESThu Apr 04 1996 19:115

    though....

60.28Base Your FaceBINKLY::CEPARSKII'll Get A New Start...Thu Apr 04 1996 19:4810
    The latest DeadBase is DeadBase IX and it contains all the Dead
    Setlists up through and including 7/9/95 (altho the Summer Tour lists
    are listed in the very back as an add-on). From what I've gathered
    they'll be doing at least one more that integrates the Summer stuff
    with the rest of it. The people at DeadBase suggest you get DB from
    another source than directly from them - probably get it faster that
    way. I know GDM and Terrapin Tapes sell them.
    
    Check 'em out on the web at
    http://www.cyberportal.net/deadbase/db.home.html   
60.29now I can keep my DB VI at the office :-)QUOIN::BELKINbut from that cup no moreThu Apr 04 1996 20:006
You can also get DB IX at Headlines, on Main St. in Nashua.
Softcover is $34 and the hardcover (ask for it - its kept in back, no on the
display racks) is $40 or so.  They also have DB Junior.  I got the DB IX
in hardcover.  I'm not likely to stop being a deadhead soon.... :-)

60.31They have some cool posters there, tooSALEM::BENJAMINFri Apr 05 1996 02:343
      I bought deadbase jr. at that headlines in nashua last week....It
    cost only $20 and the setlists are complete thru 7-9-95...the jr.
    version has no reviews in it tho....
60.32QUOIN::BELKINbut from that cup no moreFri Apr 05 1996 13:366
I like all the show reviews!  It helps when picking out tapes you've never
heard before from people's tapelists, and to help revive those hazy :-)
memories of shows you've been to.  Or should I say, "make those old memories
come aliiiivvveeeee (come ALIVE!)"  :-)     ahhh... sing me back home...
