 The Cigar Box Guitar Amplifier Notebook:
Projects for the Cigar Box Guitarist Using Salvaged & Reclaimed Electronics $19.99 This book is written as a guide for anyone looking to create their own guitar amplifier. Where this book is different from other books on the treatment of electronics and guitar amplifiers is that it considers the mindset of the cigar box guitarist. For cigar box guitarists, rules are ignored, often reimagined, everything is optional, and there are many possibilities – some of them will even work. Much like the excitement a cigar box guitar brings when that first string is brought up to tension and the unique voice of the instrument is heard for the first time, so too does the cigar box guitar amplifier when it is first powered on, smoke does not come out of the components, and sound is heard emanating from the speaker.

 One Man's Trash: A History of the Cigar Box Guitar 2nd Edition Revised & Expanded $24.95 Spanning over 150 years of artifacts, this revised and expanded book is a collection of the history of the cigar box guitar, its origins and its changes in value and perception from the mid-1800s to the present. |
 Cigar Box Ukulele: Master Craftsmanship Meets Commodity Materials$24.99 Why would a master luthier like Sam Kamaka, Jr. build a dozen ukuleles from old cigar boxes? Serious experimentation or personal amusement? William J Jehle expands an intriguing chapter in the history of the cigar box guitar in his search for answers. [ Available on AMAZON ] |
 The Explorer's Notebook$4.95 This notebook design is made from the scanned cover and blank pages of a well-read reference book from the shelves of The Cigar Box Guitar Museum. At over 100 years old, the edges are yellowed. The muslin covering the spine is nearly falling apart. It looks like it has returned from an adventure that started 100 years ago, that it might contain the plans for a steam powered super computer, or that it contains the cryptic notes of a time traveler. Armed with an overactive imagination, your inventions and ideas are wild and crazy enough to deserve a quirky notebook to store them in. That's what The Explorer's Notebook is all about -- dream big, take note, and the world will thank you. [ Available on AMAZON ] |
 Scrap Paper Notes$5.99 For a month or two, I kept all of my junk mail just to see the bulk of it. When my curiosity was satisfied, I did not want to just throw it all away. I wanted other options. Recycling or reuse seemed like the best option, but what else could I do? The pages herein are pictures and scans of that junk mail arranged in the form of a notebook with a few ideas about what else could be done about all that junk mail added. [ Available on AMAZON ] |
