Got this book years ago decided to get the digital copy, and love this book. Kind of a niche thing as the book itself is ok but because of the nostalgic factor of using this as a guide when forming my first "band" it gets 5 stars.
About the author
Travis Nichols is a cartoonist whose comics appear in Nickelodeon Magazine (RIP). He's also an artist and former elementary school teacher, and has played in more than a dozen bands you've probably never heard of (how's THAT for indie cred?). A lifelong Texan, he now lives in New York.
