A couple of hours ago I got a notice about a book that they were taking reserved orders for at Guitar Aficionado,the book is called Guitar Aficionado Collections and it contains detailed pix and info on the private collections of some of the most famous rock stars. I preordered it on the G.A. online store at $37 but when I was about to finalize the deal,I found that the shipping was $55,so I cancelled the order quickly.I then went to Chapters/Indigo books and found the book for $36 and delivery was free because I opted to pick it up at my nearest Coles Store which is a sub company of Indigo.That's quite a huge difference in the pricepoint.

Hi guitslinger

I think an even better option for you in Canada would be amazon.ca
http://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?u ... +the+World

The book is $34.49 and ships FREE right to your door.

HTH

Cheers!

Nice score!

I was just thumbing through The Ultimate Guitar Book by Tony Bacon the other night.

All of these books are great to have for reference and for general interest.

I have been on a guitar book buying binge this year,I must have bought at least a dozen on line and have bought close to that or more in bookstores and discount mail order book dealers such as Hampstead House,which sometimes has guitar books for about 70% off the list price (they have great history,world religion and reference books too which is right up my alley),I didn't even think of Amazon when I was ordering the book but since I'm a member of the points club,I got a bit of a break on it and a good few points to go towards another book purchase some day. The next time I'll remember Amazon-I usually look there first,but it slipped my mind last night.

Yeah, I remember you posting something about that awhile back. I haven't read a book in ages (I suppose you can't count Premier Guitar magazines and AMS catalogues :P ) and the ones you've mentioned sound interesting to me. I'd like to get some about Fender and I know there was one on Squier, too.
