I saw the book at a show, Larry Meiners wrote it. He wrote the Flying V book.

I would rather call them Brochures, they ain't thick enough to be called books, especially for the price. Great for cleaning weed though.:lolspin

Got it as soon as it came out! Great for us Gibson detail freaks! Too bad they didn't keep good records in the 80's. Kind of makes you wonder whether the "lo-jack" chips they are putting in the guitars now will be useful or not - if they lose the records in the future, we're screwed!
