5.0 out of 5 stars Come on the amazing journey, May 28, 2004
By scowboy "scowboy" (Rancho Murieta, CA) - See all my reviews
First off let me qualify my review and just put it right out on the table that I am a huge fan of John Entwistle. This book was something that I always wanted but was never available.

This composition of pictures are a fantastic exhibition of the collection. The collection itself is outstanding. John's estate was the perfect backdrop for the book. If you are a fan of JE then you will love this book. If you are a guitar or bass collector you will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent opportunity to see a great collection, July 19, 2007
By Dragon One (South Carolina) - See all my reviews
John Entwistle, always the consumate collector and influential bassist of the Who, maintained one of the most enviable bass and guitar collections of all time. This book gives everyone a chance to share in it. Clear, interesting photographs and John's own unique perspective on each instrument make it a nice addition to any music enthusiast's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you grew up looking in Bass Player, catalogs, etc..., October 21, 2007
By Guiseppe (Keizer, OR) - See all my reviews
The book speaks for itself, a fantastic collection of some of the most fabled basses (and guitars) in rockdom. I confess to wanting some or nearly all of these guitars at one time or another; to see them gave me a severe case of GAS (Gear Acquisition Syndrome)! The only thing I would've liked more was to see more of the background on the guitars, how Mr. Entwistle happened to acquire them.
