Transcendental!

Put down the practical books for a while and let your imagination roam free through this fabulous book. Utterly inspirational. Anyone interested in instrument building or anyone who just wants to gaze at superb works of art needs this volume. Magnificent.

Great Cocktail table book

I love the book. Value is definitely worth it. My only wish is that it had more about classical guitars.

great book

There are many books on guitars, but mostly on certain brands or types. Robert Shaw's book not only describes different types and makers, but also takes a view across the borders geographically (i. e. the reader will find instruments from all over the world.) Great photos - precise descriptions - competent writing - good directory.
