About This Item
Atlantic Monthly Press, 2005. Very Good/Unknown. Octavo, hardcover, near fine in somewhat edgeworn brown and orange/yellow pictorial dj. Author's beloved guitar of 22 years was destroyed by baggage handlers. While waiting for an amiable curmudgeon master-guitar-maker to make a new one for him, author tries to unravel symbolic associations a guitar holds for so many, musicians and non-musicians alike. How did guitar come to represent freedom, open road, protest and rebellion, blues, youth, lost love, and sexuality? Why does it sell all other instruments combined? "A love letter to the guitar, from a guitar-lover extraordinaire. 339 pp.
