Martin Guitars: A History became the first of a long list of books that have continuously expanded the information available for the Martin instruments. This book will not just recapitulate previous research; rather, it will build on earlier work while filling in gaps using source documents, as well as collating new information of previous publications, none of this information was incorporated into the book without direct comparison to the source archival documents. Includes 400 photos and forewords by Dick Boak, George Gruhn and Joe Spann. |
