Excellent Basic Reference Book
This book is a fine chord reference book. It does not just throw a flurry of different chords at the reader. The book starts off with a lucid introduction to the theory behind chords played on the guitar. If you are looking for a basic chord reference book, this is a real good one. A novice or untrained guitarist will benefit greatly, gaining a solid understanding of chord concepts. I highly recommend this book.

Guitar Chords
The delivery was well within the promissed date. he publication was another rehashing of guitar cords.

Extremely helpful!
As a beginning guitarist with essentially no formal background in music, I find myself frequently at a loss to understand the structure of the music that I'm playing (why is this an A chord and why is that a D?). This book is absolutely outstanding in explaining the nomenclature and structure of chords, even to a relative novice. A couple of hours perusing this and I've developed a MUCH greater understanding of chords and how they are related, how they differ as you move up the fretboard, etc. If you're trying to learn how to PLAY guitar, this book isn't going to be useful, but if you're trying to UNDERSTAND what you're playing and don't already have a musical background, this book is absolutely great!
