The Taylor Guitar Book. Growing from a small custom shop in the early 1970s to the only new brand to have challenged the traditional Big Three of American acoustic Guitars (Gibson, Guild, and Martin), Taylor has effectively changed the marketplace for acoustic steel-string Guitars and influenced every other maker of acoustic stringed instruments.
But Taylor's influence in the Guitar market goes far beyond the Guitars themselves. Having pioneered the use of modern building techniques ? such as utilizing CNC machines, UV-finishing, etc. ? the company has been an undisputed leader when it comes to innovation. Taylor's latest efforts are concentrated on wood conservation, and again, the company is setting the example that the industry is following.
The Taylor Guitar Book combines a historical storyline with useful hands-on information about model changes over the years ? to help readers learn how to identify and date a Taylor ? and features shop and factory photos (both historical and current) as well as full-color images of Guitars.

Updated Edition-If you ever needed proof that a magazine can have a love affair with a musician you're holding it in your hands. For DownBeat the preeminent publication of the jazz world Miles Dewey Davis was one of its most cherished subjects. Since it began covering the jazz scene in 1939 no other artist has been more diligently chronicled in its pages than Davis.The beauty of this collection is seeing the development of an artist over time. The reviews of his music go from quietly introducing a new talent to revering perhaps the greatest jazz artist of his generation. The feature articles begin with a very young very polite Davis lamenting I've worked so little. Icould probably tell you where I was playing any night in the last three years. As he develops the interviews show Davis gaining confidence and stature showing swagger and becoming the over-the-top say-it-like-it-is showman that made every interview an event.The Miles Davis Reader compiles more than 200 news stories feature articles and reviews by some of the greatest writers in jazz into one volume. It delivers a patchwork of his words and music - in the moment as they happened. With several lengthy features added along with a dozen new photographs this new edition is a beautiful series of snapshots a year-by-year ride through the many phases of Davis as an artist and as a man.
