Boutique Acoustics: 180 Years of Hand-Built American Guitars Paperback – June 1, 2016

Unfortunately I bought this based on the title alone, expecting it to be a book about the burgeoning custom guitar industry and the art of small luthier shops. If I had read the description, I would have seen it's really dealing more with guitars of major companies over the past century plus. Very little in here about what is going on in the custom world today and the artisan luthiers that are redefining the art of making guitars. For what this book covers, there are much better choices out there.

Great Book!

Excellent "wish list" for any acoustic guitar aficionado -- well-written and lavishly illustrated.

Super book with lots of great photos and v interesting text! Recommended!
