3.0 out of 5 stars Spellcheck should be the self-publisher's best friend., July 3, 2007
This review is from: The Creator's Handbook For The Guitar (Spiral-bound)
THis ain't a bad book- far from it. It's a nice foay into guitar theory, and the approach is admirable, HOWEVER, it loses some of it's punch as you read, when certain (incredibly easy) words appear misspelled. Very strange, and it calls into question either the author's education, or the editor's skill, or both.

Liek I said, it isn't a bad book, just be ready for it.
