Seventh Annual Edition-Many of the people who work on Broadway keep scrapbooks of their experiences: photos signed posters ticket stubs and of course the Playbills. Playbill Books a division of the iconic 127-year-old company that designs the programs for every show on Broadway has expanded this idea into an annual project that has become a Broadway institution: The Playbill Broadway Yearbook. Taking the form of a college yearbook the seventh edition is packed with photos - more than 4 000 of them many in color - and memorabilia from the entire 2010-2011 Broadway season including headshots of all the actors and photos of producers writers designers stage managers stagehands musicians- even the ushers! A new feature this year is plot summaries of each of the shows as well as stats Playbill covers and inside stories that only Playbill can get. It includes chapters on nearly 80 Broadway shows - not just new shows such as Spider-man: Turn Off the Dark Warhorse The Book of Mormon and Catch Me If You Can but also the season's long-running ones such as Billy Elliot Mamma Mia! and Wicked. Also included is a wealth of photos from Broadway insider events including Gypsy of the Year Broadway Bare and the annual Broadway League softball championship. The authors have once again asked each production to supply a member of the cast or crew to serve as correspondent to report on things that only those who worked backstage would know: opening night presents embarrassing moments memorable ad-libs who got the Gypsy Robe daily rituals celebrity visits favorite health tips and regimens and so on. Correspondents range from dressers and stage doormen to stage managers dancers featured players and in some cases the star of the show.

“1-2-3-4!”With that quick count-off four hoppin' cretins from Queens who called themselves the Ramones launched the 1970s musical revolution known as punk rock. And ever since popular music hasn't beenthe same. Perhaps the most imitated band of all time the Ramones stripped rock 'n' roll down to its bare bones and beating heart and handed it back to the people making it fun again and reminding everyone that hey they coulddo this too.But “da brudders” didn't just influence their key comrades in the original punk explosion. Their raw tough sound and divine gift of enduring melodic songcraft has power-drilled its way intomusical styles as divergent as college rock power pop hardcore punk thrash metal grunge and the avant-garde and continues to be felt in newer waves of young acts. And what about the music that influenced the Ramonesthemselves – early rock 'n' roll surf rock British Invasion sounds garage rock girl groups hard rock bubblegum proto-punk and glam rock? Or the nonmusical stuff that also warped the skulls beneath those trademarkbowl haircuts – weird movies cartoons trashy TV shows comic books and other cultural jetsam? It's all here just waiting for you to discover and dig. Hey Ho Let's Go!

50 Years of Gibson's Stylish Solid Guitar-To many vintage Guitar fans it seems inconceivable that Gibson dumped the Sunburst Les Paul in 1960 and during the following year introduced a completely new design the one that we know now as the SG (?solid Guitar?). At the time however it made good business sense. Sales of the Les Paul were faltering and Gibson decided to blow a breath of fresh air through its solidbody electric Guitar line. The company described the result as an ?ultra-thin hand-contoured double-cutaway body.? The modernistic amalgam of bevels and points and angles was a radical departure and this new book tells the story of all the SG models that followed: the Junior Special Standard Custom and more. There are interviews with and stories about Gibson personnel through the years and all the major SG players including Pete Townshend Frank Zappa Eric Clapton Angus Young George Harrison Gary Rossington Tony Iommi and Derek Trucks. In the tradition of Tony Bacon's bestselling series of Guitar books The SG Guitar Book is three great volumes in one package: a collection of drool-worthy pictures of the coolest Guitars; a gripping story from the earliest prototypes to the latest exploits; and a detailed collector's database of every production SG model ever made.
