how would you spend $50 at barnes and noble?

I have a couple of gift cards that I need to use...

Was gonna buy an amp building book, but already have Dave Hunter's book... then I thought I would buy a Guthrie Govan CD since I have none of his music, but they don't seem to carry his stuff... I did notice he has an instructional book there, but have no idea how good that is....

so pondering still...

how would you spend it? I need some ideas..

I did spend $50 on books yesterday. I already have a copy of the jazz theory book by Levine, lots of good stuff in there.

I got these:

Great suggestions! I actually have some of this as well. Thanks for the suggestions (would love to hear more if anyone is so inclined)!

The Clapton and Miles Davis autobiographies are both good...a lot of history detailed in those books.

"The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, and probably some DVD music videos of whatever I was in the mood to see that day. I probably wouldn't buy CDs unless they are on sale. CDs have a diminishing place in my life. It's mp3 for convenience, and vinyl LPs for fidelity and enjoyment. CDs are less convenient than mp3s and usually lose to well-pressed vinyl in the fidelity department. :AOK
