Geoff, there are a couple. The Complete History of Rickenbacker and The Rickenbacker Book. The first can be had off Amazon for a better price than Ebay and probably the same can be said for the second book. Both are pretty good.

Howard, don't know about overseas shipping, but right now Amazon has The History of Rickenbacker, new, for 23US, which is like 30 to you before shipping.

Thanks, Stan. I've toyed with that idea but was trying to get one locally. Maybe it's time to bite the bullet!

Don't over look used at Amazon. The dealers there sometimes list overstocks they buy from publishers. I have gotton new from them at a third of the cost. Also overstock.com has some good deals from time to time. I picked up the latest edition of the Tube Amp Book from them at half price.

Ah so! Lickenbackel! (no offence meant to our Japanese members).

In Oz it would be 'Rick'nbacka'!!
