Super book. Very illuminating

difícil de encontrar y barato

C F Martin is a great business. quality products. This book is well written by someone who knows. thanks Dick!

When I bought my Martin HD28E Retro, I wanted to learn more of the history of C.F Martin & Co. This book was the best starting point. Well written, very informative, and lots and lots of pictures. Their history is so cool, that going through the book once isn't enough. After going through it, you will have a deeper and broader respect and admiration for Martin guitars. Outside of playing a Martin guitar, this book will make you see why they are the most respected guitar makers out there. It's those same reasons why stars like Johnny Cash, Eric Clapton, Paul Simon, Elvis, and countless others have used Martin guitars.

"Images of America: C. F. Martin & Co" is a nice and good book. And so it is, among other things, due to the emphasis given by Dick Boak to the resilience of the Martin family, as producers of the exceptional Martin Guitars. In this sense, he points out in the first paragraph of his book, a great truth: "Few family business survive the first generation, (...) C. F. Martin & Co. is unique and special family business with an alluring product and an amazing heritage. The dark, fragrant attic above the original 1859 section of the old North Street Martin factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, contains many relics:.. antique guitar molds, ancient parts, old workbenches, and scores of wooden toolboxes and crases." That's it. We are facing a disciplined family of innovative entrepreneurs, who continue encouraging those who knows their products. The book is as special as the Martin products.

I've had my Martin since 1974. I've toured the factory about a dozen times over the last 40+ years. Each time I visit the Nazareth, PA facility, there's a new machine and a few less people involved in making the guitars. Buy the book now! If you procrastinate, you may be forced to download the information.

This is a wonderful collection of photographs that any Martin guitar enthusiast will appreciate. The picture of Chris Martin IV (CEO of Martin Guitars) on page 100, was well worth the price of the book, all by itself!! This is a great addition to my library and gives real insight as to how, and where, my Martin HD-28 (2008) was made. Thanks, Jack

I own 5 Martin guitars nice to see how and who built them

I love the Images of America books, and I love guitars. This book has both, and I will be looking at this for years to come. The history of this iconic American company as well as the process of producing guitars are both fascinating subjects.

Good deal and smooth transaction!

I own a Martin, which is why I bought this book. Great visual history back in time.

Great historical photo and textual essay about the history of Martin guitars. If you're a fan of Martin guitars you will love this book!

Dick Boak pens another gift for Martin lovers the world over. Dick does what he does best, paints a picture in time and allows the reader to enter a time capsule every time this book is picked up and read.

Interesting history photos.

Informative.
