I found a big problem in the book. One of the most iconic Rickenbacker bass players isn't in the book. I believe he was the main influence on Macca, Squire, Entwistle, Quaife and Lemmy to buy Rick basses...

Wow! At full retail! That doesn't affect my royalties; I don't get more if the book sells at retail, or less if it sells at a discount. Amazon is still the best deal.
