I just recieved my copy of Classical Guitar Making: A Modern Approach to Traditional Design (Hardcover)
by John S. Bogdanovich.
I have just browsed it but it looks fantastic. It is filled with pictures. It is a big Hardcover book that is only $19.77 at Amazon

Yes I received my copy a couple of days ago following Greg's recommendation. For a 300 page profusely illustrated book it is incredible value for money. It shows quite a few very interesting techniques some traditional, some not. I particularly like the rosette making and purfling making sections and the side lamination and linings. As I've only had it for a couple of days I have only dipped into it. But, at the price I don't see why anyone wouldn't have it in their library.

Yeah, just got mine in the mail today. Great looking book! I have only browsed the pictures and a bit of text, but looks like a wealth of ideas and information for any builder.
