Hi all. I found this by accident doing a Google  check against my name. You asked for answers about the books so....

The Archives books are reproductions of artifacts, pr materials, materials  and articles from magazines that are long out of business and the copyrights are unenforceable because of that fact or have fallen into the public domain.

BEACH BOYS Volume 1 and JAN & DEAN Volumes 1 & 2: All of the materials came from my own collection (sometimes originals, sometimes copies) and are scanned at 300 DPI.
Beach Boys Volume 1 is identical to the limited edition book I published previously (15 years ago?) with a new cover.

BEACH BOYS VOLUMES 2 and 3 (probably coming in the next two weeks I hope): Many of the original materials were mine and scanned at 300 dpi in full size; some materials were acquired elsewhere and have varying resolution but all should reproduce nicely. These are different content than the previously published ARTIFACTS books I published years ago. Volume 2 spans 1960s-mid 1970s; Volume 3 spans 1960s - 2000 I think.

I am working on a volume related the band members' solo efforts and trying to find a way to do one compiling the BBFUN newsletters 1970-1986.

The tricky part in all of these is finding the cleanest originals (or high res scans)  and finding material I can reprint being subjected to copyright issues.

Anyone have a treasure trove of materials (other than the ones posted online here)?



The books are cheaper than if you found all the original materials and made copies yourself at 10 cents a sheet and bound with a color cover as well. It also takes up a whole lot less room given that the pages are double sided. Any more questions?
