I have this book. It's great and very thorough. Lots of photos, even though none of them are in color. The pages & text lines are a little bit wide for my taste, but it makes fun reading anyway.
There is another Ventures book though. Can't remember the details since I haven't received it yet. I ordered both of these books from Twangsville Productions (record company that releases a lot of rautalanka style guitar instro records, and our surf band The Silver Hawks also).

It sounds like a great book. Can you tell us where can I get a copy? I just checked Amazon who does not carry this title.
Thanks,

I ordered the Halterman book after reading about it here. Haven't finished reading it yet, but so far a great detailed history.
I agree with Chemo about the text being set in too wide of a column on the page, but great information, straight from the source.
