BOC: Rare songbook available at Ebay

>This book is worthwhile mainly as a collector's item.

Definitely a collector's item but...

>Musically, it
won't give you too many clues about BOC's music.

I beg to differ.  I've found it pretty good.  No TAB, granted (which
I mentioned), and most of the leads aren't there.  But most of the basic
chord work is there, and the main riffs/basslines are pretty much there.
I've done pretty well using this book along with listening to the CDs
to figure out BOC's stuff.

>Most BOC fans would be
better off getting the Cult Classic book, which has all the lead
parts transcribed.

Well, I do think this is also an excellent book (although if they're gonna
transcribe all the guitar parts, then they should do the bass parts too ;)
And, it's fairly readily available.  But, for someone looking to learn
how to play some of the stuff not on CC (like RU Ready 2 Rock, Subhuman,
and others), the anthology book is useful.

>I wonder if they've got the songbook for AoF and Spectres combined?
Or the Mirrors book?  Got 'em all myself...

Well, they aren't currently listed, but perhaps in the future...
I've got these myself as well (and I ain't parting with them).
