In 1984, The Boston Organ Club chapter of the Organ Historical Society issued The Johnson Organs, a ground-breaking study by John Van Varick Elsworth. It featured the first published, annotated work list of an American organ builder, and included all 860 of his organs! This 2015 edition, under the affectionate direction of the noted author and historian, Barbara Owen, the Johnson list has been re-annotated in greater detail and brought up to date. Combined with dozens of facsimiles, a year-by year accounting of the firm, and a detailed restoration report by nationally respected organ restorer, Scot L. Huntington, Stephen L. Pinel and Martin R. Walsh, this 240-page volume is sure to fascinate. The book should be in the library of every devotee of the American pipe organ. 2015; soft cover; 240 pgs, OHS Press.

A first-person account of the post-war organ reform movement in the United States and written by one of the most beloved organbuilders of his generation, this autobiography of Charles McManis chronicles a career from the author’s formative years to his retirement in 1999. Ranging over 75 years, the book provides not only technical details, but also a fascinating look into the life of the man himself. With many illustrations and chapters devoted to topics as diverse as voicing philosophy and McManis’ wit and wisdom, the book also contains stoplists and photographs of the organs themselves.
