Vintage Fakebooks,Instructional Books and Ephemera
I occasionally stumble across old fakebooks, method books, transcribed solos, band arrangements and other ephemera. I thought I'd post some here and see if it would be of interest! Please remember that these books/charts are 50+ years old on average and will show signs of use.
