I’ve been wanting to get my hands on this book for some time now. The first edition, published in 1976 is one that very few have seen as only 500 copies were printed and each is numbered by hand by the author. For the second and third editions (almost identical) the information was expanded and I was told that some changes were made due to pressure from certain guitar-makers. Now I get to find out the truth. The real reason, however, for buying this book is to make sure that a copy gets into the museum of the guitar in Granada. The project is just getting started so it may be some time before you can come and visit and see guitars made by the historical greats, documents like this book and maybe even some of the old tools used by Eduardo Ferrer and Manuel de la Chica.
