Posts: 10714 Threads: 579

In the works for over six years, Rob Cook's latest drum company history and dating guide is being released on August 3rd at Steve Maxwell's shop in Manhattan. Orders can be placed now, for shipment beginning Monday August 5. Assembled in collaboration with John Sheridan with additional assistance from Lee Ruff and Fred W. Gretsch, this book is an 8.5x11 paperback, 288 pages with full color on nearly every page. The Gretsch family history section was written by Gretschen Elsner-Sommer, Fred W. Gretsch's sister. After the family and business history sections is the endorser section. This includes an alphabetic list of every Gretsch endorser from 1936-2012 with nearly 200 photos. The dating guide includes sections on Catalogs, colors, badges, hardware, snare drums, and outfits. The book includes a full-color K Zildjian dating guide chart by Bill Hartrick. If you would like your book personalized by Rob Cook, please include with your order a note advising him who the book is for. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gretsch-Drum-Book-Rob-Cook-John-Sheridan-/310714910670?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item48580d47ce

Just bought a copy for my drum instructor, who's a Gretsch fanatic. It's really cool that Rob will personally autograph the book, as well. I'm a Rogers guy and his Rogers Book, Second Edition has proved an invaluable resource! Rock on, Rob!

Just got my copy yesterday. I gave it as a gift to my drum instructor, age 59, who is a life-long Gretsch fan. He was so excited to see one of his instructors in there. And Rob personallized it, with a signed message, as well. Thanks, Rob!
