It's not one of those books you'll hear about on NPR's Fresh Air one day causing a big bump in sales but over time its influence wanes. This occupies a very defined niche, there's not likely to be anything to dethrone it for a long, long time (except maybe a second edition?).
Just wait till Oprah finds it..... :lol:
Ha! :lol:

Congrats Paul, yep this is going to keep growing a trove of information such as this is a very valuable thing. Thanks for putting it together!

I received this from Amazon over the weekend and it is an amazing compendium and gallery of Rickenbacker basses. Attention to detail and meticulous research are obvious.
Beautifully photographed and well written, this is THE go to book for anyone who is curious about the history and legacy of these great instruments.

Nice job!

My other half often comments on how much time I spend in the bathroom. Reason is - I have Paul's book in there and don't like to rush things... :) 8)
