I bought a copy from John last week, and it's an incredibly thorough and informative resource. Highly, highly recommended.

FWIW, I'm working with BlindBlake to resolve his book order. PLEASE NOTE: If you haven't ordered a copy of the new 4th edition, now's the time. Because of the recent increase in postage rates, I'm going to have to raise the postage slightly on future book orders. If you want to save a couple of dollars, best to order soon. The book's cost will stay the same ($46); only the cost to mail it will increase. Order from www.johnblair.us I really appreciate all of the nice comments about the new 4th edition that have been posted here and hope that those who have the book are enjoying it and finding it useful. john blair — |

OK...shameless self-promotion time since it's getting close to Xmas. This book, the most recent 4th edition, makes a really cool Xmas present for anyone on your shopping list who's into surf music. The book describes in vivid detail the origins of this music that has exploded internationally today. Includes an exhaustive index and a Foreword by Dick Dale. If you don't have a copy yet, please don't wait. Order the book by going to my website: www.johnblair.us. Happy holidays!!! — |
