Looking for a good Fender amp book

I was wondering if anyone knows of an informative, detailed Fender amp book? A little history, tech/specs and some pics would be nice. Thanks.

Fender Amps The First Fifty Years by Teagle and Sprung.

Given your reputation as an amp guru, I'm sure that's solid advice. I will see about ordering that from one of the online book stores.

I find myself constantly thumbing through this book--it's not a tech book but the best historic sourcebook that I know of. I wouldn't buy an old Fender amp without reading the respective chapter in this book. Also, you have to love that "family portrait"!! Buy it, you'll like it!!

Are their any tech books out there devoted to Fender amps?

There's Gerald Weber's two books, "Tube Amp Talk for Guitarist and Tech", & "Desktop reference of Hip Vintage Guitar Amps" that deal alot with Fenders. There's also Dave Funk’s "Tube Amp Workbook", agian with alot on Fender.
