I have both versions and the second edition is worth every penny of £4.99

[Cat Burrito]

I've had my copy since the mid 90s when it was first published. I think it's fair to say anything with Tony Bacon's name on it is always going to be at least half way decent

[geoffbyrne]

I nipped into the local Works , but they didn't have it or know anything about it - " You'll just need to order it online". Thanks a lot!

Well it didn't take them long to get their facts wrong!!

I wonder how accurate the rest of the book is?

I bought it for the pictures.

[Themrperson]

I have got this book! I was going to put something about it but then I forgot. I love it, but I haven't read much about it. I just love looking at the pictures, they make me happy

[Mickeyboro]

Beware the Electric Guitar source Book at same price - 90 pc of pics are b/w to fund an enclosed DVD... Not as good a deal as it seems.

[Donnyboy]

It's now out of stock.

[Mickeyboro]

Still some in high Wycombe!

[uncle psychosis]

To be honest, I flicked through it in one of their shops a few months ago and decided it wasn't worth a fiver!

[Ant]

gonna check the Leeds shop for this today

[Matt P]

i found it on ebay for 5.99 with postage (from the works!) not sure if they've got any more copies but there were other sellers starting at 6.99.
my copy is due to arrive next week, i bought it for the pictures mainly, (i bought the ultimate guitar book by the same author a few years ago and mainly just look at the pictures as well)
