Glitzty Guitar-Amp Glam,
By Jazz Hermit (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of the Amplifier (Paperback)
This book is simply a collection of glamour shots of ... amplifiers. If you like that sort of thing you'll love this book but don't buy it expecting to learn any technical tidbits, this book literally treats the tube amp as a work of art. Fair 'nuff.
