Book Reviews of Electric Guitars: The Illustrated Encyclopedia

Book Review: Electric Guitars
Summary: 5 Stars

I picked up this book for my son, who is a "guitar freak".
Knowing very little about guitars myself, I'm not that qualified to review this book. I can report, however, that my son was delighted with this gift. He said that he spent hours going through it, learning things he didn't know, and that he particulary enjoyed the illustrations. Anyone who is very interested in guitars would be delighted to have this book!
