Even though I like reading stuff on the net, there's just something about a book that a computer monitor can't replace.
It doesn't have to be literature, it can be a book about anything.
I have a lot of books, but let's look at the list of books I bought on Ebay/internet the last 2-3 years:
- Slash's autobiography, a must read.
- Making music your business by David Ellefson.
- Guns N Roses, the most dangerous band in the world by Mick Wall, I borrowed this years ago in a library, found it again for 5 euros last year on internet, I just had to buy it.
- Reckless road, the making of Appetite for Destruction, Guns n Roses photobook by Slash's friend Marc Canter, really cool.
- Jim Marshall, the father of Loud by Rich Maloof.
- Billy Sheehan advanced bass, the company to the DVD.
- 101 bass tips by Gary Willis, I actually got this one free, great stuff in here too.
- Ultimate Billy Sheehan in Japanese, which obviously I can't read but it has a lot of pretty pictures 
- Mr. Big band score of the first album, I got this in a lot.
- Mr. Big bass guitar tabs of the first album by Cherry Lane, from the same lot.
- Mr. Big band score of Lean into it.
- Billy Sheehan, the Talas years, bass guitar tab by Cherry Lane, this one came all the way from Australia. 
- Duff Mckagan, Believe in Me band score, I like band score's cause I play both bass and guitar, that saves me one book It's cool for those hard to figure out parts.
- The History of Marshall by Michael Doyle, this one has that infamous Jimi Hendrix silhouette photo I talked about in the photography thread.
Anyone else? |

| Recently read and re-read Motley Crue's autobiography, The Dirt. Certainly not for the younger crowd, or those easily offended, but really a fascinating look at how a band forms, grows, and crashes. All kinds of tidbits in it, I couldn't put it down the first time I read it. |
