Title: Save your dollars
Review: This book has been around awhile now, and the cognoscenti are in agreement...this is no book for those already familiar with the instrument. There's probably better information to be had on the Internet than could be gotten out of this paperback. Validity of the book's contents are inversely proportional to the reader's knowledge of the instrument. Good things are some quotes here and there from credible sources, such as Alan Young. Overall, however, it's just a picture book with some accompanying text and many errors spread through the entire content. Also present editorially is the omnipresent Hammond hyperbole, such as declaring the G-100 a "technical success", which, of course, it wasn't...it was an adject failure which booted Hammond out of the "big organ" market for good. You pay your ISP monthly anyway...get on your browser and use it, and save the cost of this much overhyped tome.
