Comment: "If you work in the field of networking this is a must read. Gibson had the internet scoped out and laid down the gauntlet and challenged every techie to build out the internet as he envisioned it way back when in the early eighties in this densely written debut sci-fi novel, Dark, moody and eerily accurate descriptions of the internet (cyberspace) Gibson introduces Case, the Hacker cowboy for hire who infiltrates corporate networks and steals and trades information for drugs and cash.

Comment: "Most interesting read on how Don Felder was forced out of the Eagles and the misery he endured while a band member. Many business lessons to be learned regarding partnerships and compensation. It was interesting to learn that the group Chicago had an equal partnership and they took care of each member royalty-wise equally and fairly and they were the complete opposite of the Eagles which was run like an autocracy. Don persevered, sued and got a decent settlement after a prolonged court battle. THis chronicles that story. Very interesting read."

Comment: "Tim wrote this book about the history of the contemporary acoustic guitar and tells a parallel story of replacing his beloved Fylde acoustic guitar with a hand-built custom jumbo cut-away acoustic guitar built from scratch by a master guitar luthier in Vermont. I read this book twice as there was so much information about guitars and how they are intertwined with our culture and musical history. This is another highly recommended book for anyone that plays the guitar or is a serious student of music."
