1: Look No Further
This is pretty much one-stop shopping for the guitar junkie -- just buy it now and save yourself a lot of money....

2: Great book if you don't already have Electric Guitars: The Illustrated Encyclopedia
When I got this book I was amazed at how huge it was. It's heavy too. In fact I'm not sure it would be safe to put this on a music stand, it could injure someone. The content is like having a couple years worth of Guitar Player magazine columns in one big book. Covers over a dozen styles in their individual chapters with some representative licks. Also lots of guitar maintenance stuff, tho I just don't see how a book of this bulk could work in a workshop environment.
So the book is pretty great, the only BIG problem I have is that 300 pages of this book is a reprint of Tony's previous book, "Electric Guitars: The Illustrated Encyclopedia". And I had just bought that book 2 weeks before. So if you have THAT book already, then you are getting just 297 pages of new material in a book that's 3x as heavy as that one (this one is hardcover).
If that factoid was mentioned in the review than I guess it's my own fault, but either way it bears repeating. Of course if you don't have the previous book than this is great. The colors are a bit richer than the previous book, too. But I probably would have skipped this if I had known the above.

3: Totally Guitar...Totally Awesome (sorry, it was too easy)
This is a great book...voluminous. Easy to follow visuals. Great depth in a variety of styles.

4: totally guitar: Totally heaven
I love guitars and this is the perfect book for me. I can sit and see the beautiful pictures of guitars (on beautiful paper by the way)and read the in depth information on so many topics to do with guitars. I was reading about the different sounds made by the different woods last night. It has the history of the guitar presented in such a way that for once I didn't have to fight off sleep. I'm just into it, and already I am so pleased. Not a wasted cent.

5: Every Guitarist Should Have This
This book has a little bit of everything, lessons, tips, maintenance intructions, history, everything. Great value for this price! I bought it and not one penny went to waste.
