A visual treat for all music lovers

Beginning with 16th C Spanish vihuelas, the authors take a pictorial tour of the rich history of the acoustic guitar. In addition to the unbelievable number of pictures (especially of early guitars), the authors also describe innovations by many modern, independent luthiers such as Thomas Humphrey. Additionally, the reader is exposed to fine works by British luthiers. My only minor reservation with any book like this is the "scope/page" ratio...can 500 years of history be covered in 158 pages? The authors do a remarkable job covering the key historical events in the evolution of the guitar. Interested readers will find additional info in the rich bibliography and discography(!). All and all, a marvelous book for anyone interested in the history and evolution of musical instruments...both to read and admire the fine pictures.
