I just expect proper notation and tab with a commercial product ($30 for a transcription?). After all, there are Guitar Pr, Powertab and Tef sites out there which offer both, for free, and also from some decent tabbers. I take your point about why doesn't he use a decent programme to produce his tabs (and like I said, his books have both and properly printed etc.). I guess he started doing this back in the seventies or eighties and hasn't upgraded yet... Handwritten is ok though, as long as it's neat, which his is, in my experience. And as for the price, it used to be about 10 Francs/Euros per tab and what he's done is put the price for a single tab up to 20 Euros, but if you buy 2 tabs it's 17 Euros each, and if you buy 3 tabs it's 13 Euros each, which is only a price rise of 3 Euros, AND if you buy 3 you get to choose one of his freebie list, so you get 4 tabs for 39 Euros, which actually works out very slightly cheaper than it used to be. His books are better value, 'cos you get 6 tabs for 33/35 Euros. I guess a while back he was the only guy doing this and it seemed reasonably priced, and now there are a whole lot more people producing books, and they work out cheaper, but the books of Tomatito's Paseo De Castaños, Pepe Habichuela's Yerbaguena, El Viejín's Algo Que Decir, and Rafael Riqueni's Alcazar De Cristal are nearly 40 Euro's, and some only have 3 pieces in, so that's no more expensive than Faucher's buy 3 tabs get one free deal.
