I am also hoping for that. Maybe I'll ask Dan to make it a sticky!

 

[Patrick]

I purchased the DJ For Dummies a couple of years back.....and it had some good ideas, plus copies of contracts, etc. it was worth the small investment.

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life is a good read too, not necessarily for learning technique but for background info about the industry.

 

[DJ Wes]

I'm mentioned and pictured in one of those books. You have to buy them all if you want to find out which one.
