List off some good music related books that you have been feeling lately? Who's got a nice collection of music related books?




Right now...

I'm paging through my new favorite book right now, a birthday gift from my wife, she knows me well.

Funk 45s Guide (K&B Publishers)



Most of it is in Japanese but the important stuff, the titles, pictures and basic information is in English. This will be one of my guides in stocking up for DF3. It features super fonky 45s compiled and listed by the state in which it was released! So if I want to do an Ohio funk mix, I can! Sweeeet! Plus it features some in depth interviews with DJ Shadow, Muro and Keb Darge, which I can't read because it's in Japanese.



and...



Guy Schraenen - Vinyl Records (Bremen Publishing)



This book is expensive eye candy for people who like to look at pictures of records. Gee, I guess I'm in that category. Except a lot of these records are so obscure, and frankly impossible to even try to find. Mostly Sound Library type recordings listed in here. I should have saved my money and not purchased this, it is basically a coffee table book for extreme vinyl snobs and I'm not nearly snobby enough or rich enough to justify owning this book.

I love this book

Damn! That funk 45's looks like thefunk bible or something! Wouldn't mind paging through it on daily basis.

My fovarite music book has to be James Brown's autobiography...always a good read!

This is a good one I read a long time ago.
