I hope I'm not just repeating old news but I just learned that the 4th edition Electric Guitar Amplifier Handbook by Jack Darr has been re-issued.
JK Lutherie is selling them through their eBay store.
Here is a link to the current listing:

The book has a lot of good information and schematics. I have seen original copies going for $70+ on eBay before the reprint was available. Note: there is a scanned version available for free download somewhere on the net but that file does not include the schematic section of the book.

I always thought it was strange that someone would scan and offer the most copyright protected part of the book, but not the schematics. There was a fifth edition which had even more schematics in it. I used to browse it at a local electronics store but hesitated to buy it since I had the fourth edition already. I think they wanted $19.95 - a fair amount for a book in 1979. Just when I was ready to lay down the cash the place went out of business. I've never seen another copy of that edition.
