Guitar book

I saw this review in the Winter "Dusty Strings" newsletter and thought it might be of interest to some folks here:

THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR
By Nick Freeth & Charles Alexander
Courage Books $19.98

This new addition to the world of guitar history books provides a well-rounded overview of the evolution of the acoustic guitar from its 16th century origins in Europe right through the innovations of current builders. Beautifully illustrated, this book covers the gamut, including discussions of early 5-course instruments, the transition to 6 strings, and the development of the modern classical, steel string flattop, arch-top, resophonic, and even travel guitars. A particularly interesting feature is the attention given to the relationship between the evolution of playing styles an the development of the instrument. [Written by Gary Davidson.]
