The title says it all doesn't it?

The history of Rickenbacker, any good books?

"The History of Rickenbacker Guitars" by Richard Smith is about the only book out there that covers the basses (no pun intended/well,maybe).

Or you can wait until Paul Boyer's book comes out.

Hi Peter and all,

The book is a work in progress. It's my retirement project, and I retire next summer. I hope to have the book published in 2007 or 2008. No publishing contract yet, so right now the book is mostly good intentions, a lot of support from Forum members, a good collection of photos, an intro, and two partial chapters written. I've already gotten an "order" from Mike Parks for the book, but realistically, it's a couple years away.
