"Nifty 50's!" according to Donald J. Thompson. This book does have a lot of beautiful color pics of well known and lesser known makes. It has a great intro chapter on the history of the pickup up to the 1950's. Each chapter is about a different type of 1950's pickup and has a lot of stats in the articls. However it would be a better and faster read if all the stats were in a seperate part of the chapter for quick referance. It is NOT a quick reference book but a good read none the less..
