CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Lightweight but interesting -
This book is a more lightweight, introductory version of the book "Rickenbacker" by Richard Smith. However, this book is interesting in its own right, with photos of different Ricks to those shown in "Rickenbacker". Additionally, it's all in color, which is a plus. While by no means comprehensive, this is still an interesting read and essential for anyone who is a Rickenbacker fanatic, like me. I bought this book brand new at list price 10 years ago in a bookstore, I can't believe the price it's going for now!!!

not nearly complete -
The real complete history of Rickenbacker is found in Richard Smith's "Rickenbacker: History Of The Rickenbacker Guitar," which I would recommend over this book. This book, like most of the Bacon and Day books, is fine, as far as it goes; the only problem is that they never go quite far enough. There's never enough hard info in a Bacon and Day book, and that's true of this one as well as all their others. I will say one thing though, lots of terrific pictures. But that's about it. If you want to know the story behind one of America's foremost guitar companies, you need to pick up Smith's book. This is mostly useful as a picture book.
Great... but could be Better! -
I really enjoyed the book. However, I wish the authors had included the company's bass guitars as well. A new updated edition is greatly needed.
Very Interesting -
Lots of useful info on Rickenbacker guitars, but I was disappointed that there was no information of Rickenbacker Electric Basses
