Gibson Bible

Is there a universally accepted (not sure if that's possible amongst gearheads) book for Gibson information?
I'm looking for some books to fill up my music room. Particularly reference books. Anything similar to the Blackguard Book for Fender Teles, but more specifically suited to Gibsons?
Thanks

Classic Gibson Electrics by AR Duchoissoir (sp?)

I wish it had more pictures, but it is pretty thorough in covering all the electrics up til '65

I'm pretty certain there IS a book out literally called 'The Gibson Bible'. It comes with a DVD with gear demonstrations too.

As mentioned, the Duchossoir book, Gibson Electrics,

http://http://www.amazon.com/Gibson-Electrics-Classic-R-Duchossoir/dp/0793592100/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223067671&sr=1-2


For Les Pauls:

Beauty of the Burst
http://www.amazon.com/Beauty-Burst-Y...3067473&sr=8-1

The Early Years of the Les Paul Legacy Vol.1
http://www.amazon.com/Early-Years-Pa...ref=pd_sim_b_3

All three are must haves for Gibson fans, IMHO.
