The Zappa Trust has revealed that two Frank Zappa books will be published later this year.
The first is titled Zappa Gear: The Unique Guitars, Amplifiers, Effects Units, Keyboards And Studio Equipment by Mick Ekers, which will also feature a foreword by Dweezil Zappa.
It’ll offer the reader “an unprecedented inside look at the machinery behind the legendary music. In addition to a detailed presentation of the equipment, Zappa Gear also introduces some of the pioneering inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs without whom the instruments would not exist.”
Zappa Gear will also include illustrations and more than 180 pictures of Zappa’s guitars and equipment.
It’ll be released on November 15 through the Hal Leonard Corporation.

FRANK ZAPPA 200 Motels (Rare 1971 UK 34-track double LP soundtrack to Zappa's surreal movie. This hard to find first press is complete with the rather beautiful and even harder to find fold-out colour poster plus 16-page illustrated booklet packed with stills from the film. The scarce poster shows no signs of being displayed. The gatefold stickered sleeve shows obvious edge scuffing (especially to spine) and the vinyl reveals light signs of play only - very nice indeed!
