Hey folks-- I thought you'd want to know about my book which was published in April by the University of Texas Press, 'A Perfectly Good Guitar.'

I interviewed working musicians around the country asking about that one special guitar and why it is so important in their lives.

You can read about it on my website which includes reviews. http://www.aperfectlygoodguitar.com/

It's available for purchase directly from the University of Texas Press: https://utpress.utexas.edu/books/chuck-holley-a-perfectly-good-guitar

Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Perfectly-Good-Guitar-Musicians-Instruments/dp/1477312579/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1496797294&sr=1-1&keywords=A+Perfectly+Good+Guitar

Barnes and Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/a-perfectly-good-guitar-chuck-holley/1124867393?ean=9781477312575

A perfectly good book to enjoy for years on, I have the digital edition and it seems that all the photos are there. I can't tell yet if I like the photos or the stories better . It's very well written, I'm probably going to get the print edition as well to occupy the spot of honor on my coffee table.

This is a fun book. Beautiful pics.
Should be a series. There are at least as many guitar stories as there are guitars, yes?
