I don't wind pickups but I'm fascinated by pickup technology and guitar circuits in general. I already own a copy of 'Guitar Electronics for Musicians' and find it entertaining and useful. I got a kick learning about Bill Lawrence's half-out-of-phase mod and learning about how the series capacitor on vintage Rickenbackers bridge pickup was used to get a clearer tone out of flatwounds. I also find it interesting to know which pickups were wound for who and with that in mind I think I'll enjoy 'Guitar Pickup Handbook'.
How about 'Animal Magnetism for Musicians'? Does it deal with more than just pickup making?
