BIBLIOGRAPH for VGI.
|
|
This is a bibliography of where I got all the vintage guitar information (and some
pictures) compiled in this internet site. I have been collecting vintage guitars
on and off for about 20 years. So my experience is inserted in all of the
sections, in addition to the book sources. But no matter how much experience
one has, there is always more that can be learned. Hence these books
were instrumental in developing this vintage guitar site.
|
|
Any book with one
is a decent book. Those books with two
I would highly recommend. Books with
are the best available! Books with no stars are not very good, but may be
the only source of information available for that subject.
