A must have book for any Martin aficionado. This highly anticipated and much talked about tome is a rigorously researched treasure trove of well-documented historic information. This book does not just recapitulate previous research; rather, it builds on earlier work while filling in gaps using source documents, as well as collating new information into tables and diagrams for ease of use. Although broadly based on a number of previous publications, none of this information was incorporated into the book without direct comparison to the source archival documents. It includes 400 photos and forewords by Dick Boak, George Gruhn, and Joe Spann.
