The Illustrated Directory of Guitars

I bought this book at a half priced bookstore a couple years ago, and it's pretty good, if you like learning about companies histories with certain guitars. The only thing I don't like about this book, is that there are a few typos and factual errors, such as "cale" instead of "scale" on one page, and the author said that "James Hetfield was the founder for Megadeth", which is completely false, since James Hetfield wasn't even IN Megadeth. Either way, this book is still good, and features illustrations of all the guitars mentioned.

If you have like or love the guitar, you will gain even more appreciation after reading this book. You don't have to be a player to enjoy it. It covers the history of the instrument, both electric and acoustic, in words and pictures, discussing the builders and players alike.
