Bob, thank's for coming up with this Thread idea. I don't know of those books but I do have a dozen or so other books to mention. What I would like to do then if you don't mind is list all the Books I have in my collection some of which have little to do directly with Basses but still, 'it's in the Family'!
Give me a day or so to pile them up and sort them as I have a collection of English makers books as well as the usual ones and a few new recent books.
If I learn one single thing from any given book, it's worth its price to me.
Hey, now that you've opened up this can of worms, how about I elect you
'The Ambassador of the House Brands' so we can all learn the names and makers as well of the periods of these Basses so more of us can understand these buried mysteries. Ok Bob?
PS: I see this Thread is in the 'Shop Bass' Forum but then again, that's where most of us started and where many have happily stayed. Therefore listing Books could be either here or in the Luthiers Forum. But, would that be any fun over there? Let me hear some opinions and I will wait to post my list and edit my post here after it's decided where to put these books.
