About the Owner

I have been a bibliophile and book collector for over forty years. My inventory is built from years of local collecting as well as  my many travels around America and overseas.  Since moving to Seattle in 1989 I’ve been a  music journalist and columnist and am the author of  two books:  Start Your Own Band (1997, New York: Hyperion) and a music instruction book The Marty Method (2004, Seattle: self-published). I am constantly adding books to the inventory. Currently there are 486 books online.  Happy browsing!
