I'm launching a series of digital "reprints" on CD of various old musical instruments trade catalogs and other antique music related books and prints and new items similar to this are added to my eBay store all the time. And don't hesitate to ask me if you can't find what you're looking for. There are hundreds of other titles in peparation.
Please note that the item in this and my other ebook auctions are reproductions, not originals.
Here is a digital facsimile of a small catalog from Gibson, originally published shortly after world war 2.
PreviewsHere are a few scaled down samples from the ebook. (You can click on the images to view slightly larger versions.)
Please note that the large images above are still much smaller than the ones on the CD.
