Cambridge University Press, 2018. First Edition. Hardcover. Like New/Like New. 7x0x10. A firm, square hardback, bright and clean with strong joints and sharp corners, complete with original dustjacket, just showing a few very mild bumps and rubs. Hence a non-text page is stamped 'damaged'. Despite such this book is crisp, fresh and tight with no defects. Thus a nearly new copy that looks and feels unread now offered for sale at a very reasonable price.

It gathers a rich array of portraits, archival materials and literary works, and will interest guitar enthusiasts as well as music historians.
