Looks like a great reference. I'll have to pick one up once they hit the stores :mrgreen:

I thought it was the Norman invasion in the 1060's, though...

I'm sure John has done a great job. My only concern for him is how long the values will be a valid reflection of the market. The way RIC prices have been going, I wonder if trying to publish a book like this is like trying to publish a book on the price of gasoline. All that said, I'm still tempted to buy one.

It's a pity it's only available to purchasers in the USA. :? :(

It is a wonderful book. I bought one about a year ago. The pictures are really cool, and the information is well laid-out. We all know the market has been crazy in the last 12 months, so naturally, some prices are out of date, but the book is waaaay more accurate than any other Rick price guide I have ever seen, especially the **** published by the big boys. J Dog recommends.

John has published at least three revisions of this book. There was price guide for the first half of 2006 and for the second half, then the one for 2007. I don't know if he's published one for 2008.

The way prices keep rising, I have the feeling he's working on it.
JETGLO should officially be renamed JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

It's simply the best resource out there for values, and has great photo's too. Nothing to touch it.

I'm sure John's working on a new version as we speak!

It took a little searching to find these, but here's a link for ordering the 2007 Rickenbacker Price Guide:
http://stores.lulu.com/price_book

And here's a link to the thread in the forum where this came about:

Great book, I ordered it from a link that the authors had on this site when I first started lurking here. I'll see if I can't find the receipt, but it was an independent publishing outfit, and I think they ship overseas. It's not the cafe press, where you get the killer calendars Paul makes, or those cool mugs, I just can't think of the name. I'll do some digging, and post it if someone hasn't beat me to it.

Again, what a great book!

Mike, I'm fairly certain you're referring to Lulu.com, which I've got posted above.

I have it. Just the pictures are allready worth it. The value & reference guide is a nice bonus. ;-)
