This review is from: Gibson Amplifiers 1933-2008: 75 Years of the Gold Tone (Book & CD-ROM) (Paperback)
When this book showed up I couldn't put it down until I had read everything relating to the half dozen Gibson amps I already own. It was very easy to pinpoint the models and years of manufacture. I popped in the CD and immediately printed out the operators manuals for all the amps I own, as well as the tube charts for each. A copy of this info will always be with each amp.
Reading through the amp descriptions, I've settled upon a couple of amps I'm now dying to own, and will be searching out. Layout of the book is pretty straight forward, the pictures are all clear, and the year-to-year production totals is nice to know. I would have liked to see the inards of a few more of the models, and some servicing recommendations. I know that there are other books about tube amp repair, but a small section could have easily been included. There is really no mention in the book as to which of the models are collectable or desireable. You'll have to come to your own conclusions as to that subject. I'm am really gratefull to the author for compiling this information and finally having a book dedicated to just Gibson amps. Yahoo!!!

There is a lot of good information and pictures in this book, but the quality of it is lacking compared to other books like it. It is hard to explain, but the book feels like a thicker coloring book and the pages are mostly black and white. There is a small section that is color with some nice shots of various amps, but I was really disappointed not seeing the color pictures of the older amps, etc. I love the information that it provides, but I also love me some guitar/amp porn too and this is lacking on that for sure!
