Looks to be an interesting book, but £200???
I guess I'll just wait until I can get it on Kindle!

The Devil Is In It guitar book
I purchased a copy of The Devil Is In It: A Story of Love, Obsession, and the American Acoustic Guitar by John Stubbings. I read about it in Acoustic Guitar Magazine and being both a book and acoustic guitar lover, I decided this was my Xmas gift (and my new Martin, after years of saving).
This is a beautifully bound and rich book. Lots of details on the history of and the author's history with the acoustic guitar, hand-drawn artwork, hand bound cover... really great, heirloom quality book! John was great to deal with over email once I purchased the book, helped set up shipping. And the book arrived from the UK with the best shipment wrapping I've ever seen for a book. You can see more of the book on John's website. Maybe not for everyone, it wasn't cheap. But for a handmade book (literally), it has amazing quality and was worth every dime. It's also a pretty fun read (savoring it, but then read 50 pages over lunch)

Thanks for the post....looks like an AMAZING book!!! Geez wish I could afford it.....wonder if they will publish a copy that is not signed and with all the bells attached as I would love to read it!! Sounds weird as we are talking about a book and not a guitar, but some more pics would be nice
