Title: Beach Boys Books Post by: Dirtyfaz on July 16, 2014, 05:48:57 PM Came across a great site today that has many downloadable books on The Beach Boys and surf music in general. Prices seemed pretty reasonable as well.

Doe on July 28, 2014, 04:47:12 AM SJMcP has been a leading BB/Surf researcher & author for, oh, since last millennium. All his stuff is well worth reading and at these prices (they're Australian dollars, of course), why, what are you waiting for ? ;D

Title: Re: Beach Boys Books Post by: NHC on August 13, 2014, 07:07:25 AM Nearest Faraway place is a fav because of all the historical context and geographical whatnot,, Yes. it sets the whole proposition up very well. As a native 5th-generation Californian, although not living there since 2003, and a lover/reader of history, it really adds to the story. The Beach Boys did not arrive out of a vacuum. |
