4.0 out of 5 stars Glitzty Guitar-Amp Glam, October 18, 2005
By Jazz Hermit (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
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.
