In 1974 Bob Taylor and Kurt Listug bought the American Dream, a small San Diego guitar building company where they were both working at the time. Like many young men in that period, Taylor and Listug had dreams of making their marks as luthiers. But unlike all of those other aspiring builders, Taylor and Listug were able to take a tiny workshop and turn it into one of the most successful guitar companies in American musical history. Taylor Guitars: 30 Years of a New American Classic tells the story of how Taylor and Listug took the American Dream and transformed it into a company that produces more than 70,000 high-quality guitars a year. This book features dozens of full-color photographs of many rare guitars including instruments Bob Taylor built before the company's founding, standard production models (including the acoustic bass and the new nylon string series), custom-built instruments, and special celebrity models.

"Simon de Burton journeys through some of the most coveted cars of the twentieth century. From the Alfa Romeo 6C to the Ferrari F512M, the author has chosen eight cars from each decade, from the 1930s to the 1990s, his choices made from the perspective of the enthusiast and collector. All are 'milestone' cars, and all have risen substantially in value in the past five to ten years. They are not all necessarily the fastest, rarest or most valuable cars, but they are all highly significant and highly regarded. These are the cars that people should have bought when they were new and kept for the future."--Back cover
